There’s nothing official about the Nets vaccination status, other than Sean Marks statement Tuesday that a “couple” of players wouldn’t be cleared if the season opened this week. Of course, there was the report by Yaron Weitzman of FOX Sports that Kyrie Irving is one of that “couple.”
Now, Matt Sullivan, author “Can’t Knock the Hustle” on the Nets rebuild, writes in Rolling Stone that Irving will not seek a religious exemption from the New York and NBA rules. Those rules, in effect since earlier this month, prohibit unvaccinated players from playing, practicing or participating in “team activities” within the city.
