Steve Nash says Kyrie Irving 'excited' about possibility of playing in all of Brooklyn Nets' games

NEW YORK -- As the Brooklyn Nets continue to wait and hope that the New York City vaccination mandate gets lifted and Kyrie Irving is able to play in home games again, Nets coach Steve Nash sees a renewed sense of optimism from the 29-year-old guard that a resolution may be coming in the next few weeks.

"I will say that he's been extremely locked in," Nash said after Wednesday's practice. "Kyrie's been great on the practice floor. He's been great in film sessions. He's been creating dialogue over aspects of our play. So I sense a real focus and urgency from him.
