Off-set because he doesn't want to get vaccinated. The hard line of the Brooklyn Nets does not spare even one of its most representative players, Kyrie Irving, a real star of the NBA championship.
Irving will no longer be able to play or train with the team until he is fully vaccinated against Covid like his teammates.
Coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks also confirmed this: "Irving has made a personal choice that we respect, but this choice limits his ability to be a full-time member of our team, and we do not allow anyone to participate part time, ”Marks explained.
It was the city of New York in fact that forbade Irving to be on the field in the next home match of the Nets, given that, due to city rules, in public places such as the Barclay's Center building, only fully vaccinated people can enter.
The 29-year-old Australian-born play-guard could be reinstated if he changes his mind, but at this point the break seems incurable. And the Nets lose a champion who helped the United States win Olympic gold in Rio 2016 and the 2014 World Cup in Spain.
