The National Baseball Association (NBA) club in Brooklyn, Nets, does not intend to relocate training to another city due to Cairy Irving, who refuses to be vaccinated against Covid-19 and therefore cannot attend classes with the team. As is well known, in New York, people who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 are not allowed to attend indoor sports.
This has been confirmed by Nets head coach Steve Ness. The club is not going to train in Long Island or New Jersey just to have Irving with the other players. “These are our homes, and this is where we will train,” journalist Alex Schiffer quotes Nesh.
If Irving refuses to be vaccinated, he will lose 381 thousand dollars for each game missed. Given that each team has 82 matches during the season, half of which must be played on their own field, Irving would lose more than $ 15 million.
Steve Nash said the Nets don’t plan to move practice out of their Brooklyn facility, to say…Long Island or New Jersey, in order to get Irving able to join them. “This is our home, this is where we’re going to practice.”

If Irving remains unvaccinated, Nets will soon have to decide whether to allow the basketball player to go out with the team, or to leave him out of the team altogether. The Brooklyn organization has supported Irving in various ways in connection with the vaccination process. They have listened, supported and educated the player, but the club’s patience has been tested for a very long time. “I imagined he would be with the team. Maybe I’m naive, but I feel that way, “said Kevin Durant, Nets’ biggest star.
