Would Adam Silver have been heard? A few days ago, the NBA boss indeed considered “incoherent and unfair” that Kyrie Irving could not play in Brooklyn, for lack of having been vaccinated, while non-vaccinated players who play in opposing teams the can.
“The law in New York seems strange to me because it only applies to players who play at home”, had regretted Adam Silver. “If this rule is put in place to protect people in the room, then it doesn’t make sense if an away, unvaccinated player can come to Barclays Center, while a Brooklyn player can’t. can’t. I think this rule is unfair. It is not fair. Afterwards, I can imagine a scenario where the settlement is canceled along the way, with the new mayor, because it is no longer necessary, especially for resident players. “
For the first time, the mayor of New York hinted that this restriction could indeed be removed. It would be “in the coming weeks”if the sanitary situation is good, and following the advice of the scientific authorities.
Which could therefore allow the Nets playmaker to play all the matches at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and thus experience the end of the regular season and the playoffs in a totally normal way. This would be great news for him and especially for Steve Nash’s troops.
New York City has a plan to phase out the vaccine mandate in the coming weeks, Mayor Eric Adams says, at which point Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving would be cleared for home games.
Spokesperson adds that current rules remain in place.
