Nets guard Kyrie Irving addressed the media on Wednesday for the first time since returning to the team after a standoff regarding his refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Irving is still not vaccinated and is expected to only be available for Nets away games because of the New York City mandate that requires athletes to show proof of vaccination to play in indoors. Irving has not played a game this season since the Nets initially decided he would not be a part-time player and he would only play if he were vaccinated against COVID-19.
