The Kyrie Irving situation in Brooklyn reached its most logical conclusion—for now—on Tuesday, as the Nets announced Irving will not be permitted to practice or play with the team until he can participate on a full-time basis.
While Brooklyn was not explicit in its statement, the implication is clear: Until Irving is either vaccinated or local New York ordinances that restrict the unvaccinated from gathering indoors are lifted, he will not be a part of the team.
The Nets seemed to be entertaining the idea of letting Irving play in only some games this season.
