Nba, Kyrie Irving, the no-vax player, reinstated in the team but found positive at Covid- Corriere.it

Kyrie Irving would never have imagined such a joke. Reinstated to the team by the Brooklyn Nets, despite his controversial choice not to undergo the Covid vaccine, the NBA star tested positive for the first of five tampons he would have had to pass to be readmitted to training with the team.

What will happen now? To remain in the anti Covid protocol, which for the unvaccinated a quarantine of at least 10 days before returning to training, Irving will have to exhibit five consecutive negative swabs. Among other things, the situation for the Brooklyn Nets is not exactly idyllic. Irving, in fact, joins the other eight players in the squad currently in the protocol for positivity or contact and follows the news of the positivity of Kevin Durant, his teammate. It should be remembered that, once back, Iriving will still be able to play only away games (with the exception of those in Canada, San Francisco and against the Knicks) in light of the New York State legislation that prohibits him from taking part in events. unvaccinated sportsmen. In the meantime, due to the surge in infections, the NBA continues to lose pieces. This is pushing the League to extend the possibility for the various teams to resort to the hardship exception, an exception inserted to allow rosters most affected by Covid to add players with 10-day contracts. And the Nets signed Langston Galloway, James Ennis III, Shaquille Harrison and Wenyen Gabriel. The latter taken directly from the G-League.
