NBA, Brooklyn Nets on the Irving case: “To return to play he must get vaccinated, we hope he will soon”

The regular season of the NBA she started recently, but without one of her most important players. Kyrie Irving, in fact, having not yet undergone the anti-Covid vaccination, he cannot take part in the League’s departure with his own Brooklyn Nets. In the last few hours the owner of the franchise, Joe Tsai, intervened on the case by issuing statements: “The last time I spoke to Irving was when we decided he wouldn’t play again until something changed. We haven’t communicated since then. Of course Kyrie has her beliefs and I respect them, but we have to make a choice for the team. It’s not a decision about him, it’s a decision about the direction we take as a team. And it would not have been sustainable for us to have a player who comes in and out, does not play home games and only away matches. What do you do in training at that point ?. To return, he must get vaccinated and we hope Irving will do so as soon as possible. If the obligation in New York remains. And don’t ask me if this obligation will change or not. I repeat, you have to ask those who make the decisions in the city, they will tell you that they rely on science and on what the health department tells us ”.
