Nets guard Kyrie Irving is looking forward to the possibility of making his season debut in the Barclays Center, according to ESPN.
Irving, who is not vaccinated against COVID-19, did not play until Jan. 5 this season due to his unvaccinated status. He still cannot play in home games due to New York City's vaccine mandate.
However, New York mayor Eric Adams said the city could lift the vaccine mandate soon, setting the stage for Irving's return to the Barclays Center court.
On Saturday night, Irving dropped a season-high 38 points in the Nets’ 126–123 win over the Bucks.
