Nets guard Kyrie Irving is still hoping to make his Brooklyn debut this season 🤞🏾
Author:As New York City mayor Eric Adams continues to roll back the city’s vaccination mandate, Nets point guard Kyrie Irving is inching closer to making his return to home games in Brooklyn.
Following the Nets’ 126–120 loss to the Celtics on Sunday, Irving said he is glad to have Adams “on my side” in the ongoing process.. “It’s not an easy job to be the mayor of New York City. And with COVID looming, the vaccination mandates, everything going on in our world, with this war in the Ukraine, and everybody feeling it across America, I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes right now trying to delegate whether or not one basketball player can come and play at home.
“And I know one day we’ll be able to break bread together and he’ll be able to come to the games and hopefully we’ll move past this time like it never happened in our sense. “But, it’s just the reality that it’s been difficult on a lot of us in New York City and across the world. So, I know he’s feeling it and I’m just grateful that he’s on my side, as well as the commissioner [of the NBA].”
