Irving, who has refused to get vaccinated, still can't suit up at home even though the vaccine mandate has been lifted for fans.
Kevin Durant is calling on New York City Mayor Eric Adams to figure out what the Brooklyn Nets feel is a confusing vaccine mandate that now allows Kyrie Irving to attend but not play in their home games.
Irving was a spectator at Barclays Center for the first time this season Sunday, sitting across from the Nets bench for Brooklyn’s 110-107 victory over the New York Knicks.AdvertisementKyrie Irving, just a spectator on Sunday, greets Brooklyn Nets teammate Kevin Durant after he scored 53 points against the Knicks in a victory.Irving has been unable to play at home this season because he is not vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Though that mandate has been lifted, there is still one in place for those working at the arena. The Nets were already aggravated because that didn’t apply to visitors, allowing an unvaccinated opponent to play when Irving couldn’t. They seemed even more frustrated after Sunday’s game, when Irving’s arrival created a scene at a nationally televised game.“But he’ll figure it out soon. He better. But it just didn’t make any sense,” Durant said.
“Like, I don’t get it. Yeah, we’re all confused. Pretty much everybody in the world is confused at this point. Early on in the season people didn’t understand what was going on but now it just looks stupid. So hopefully, Eric, you got to figure this out.” At a public appearance earlier in the day, Adams told a heckler asking about Irving’s status, “Listen, you’re right. Kyrie can play tomorrow. Get vaccinated.”“Listen, you’re right. Kyrie can play tomorrow. Get vaccinated.”
