Kyrie Irving indicates he will stay in Brooklyn ahead of his first home game of the season after the city lifted the vaccine mandate for professional athletes.
Irving, speaking to reporters Saturday following Brooklyn's game-day shootaround practice in Miami, said he feels comfortable being a member of the Nets and that he wants to remain teammates with Kevin Durant.
"I love it here," Irving said."Once summertime hits, I know that we'll have some conversations but there's no way I can leave my man 7 anywhere."Irving's revelation wasn't exactly a revelation to the Nets, coach Steve Nash said. Brooklyn has been working under the assumption that Irving will be back next season and beyond.
Irving's comments came one day before he's scheduled to play his first home game for the Nets this season, now that New York City mayor Eric Adams. After Saturday's game at Miami, Irving and the Nets return home to host Charlotte on Sunday. "If the mandate isn't necessary for famous people, then it's not necessary for the cops who are protecting our city in the middle of a crime crisis," Patrick Lynch, the president of the Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York, said this week."I think there are a lot of people dealing with real consequences from being unvaccinated," Irving said Saturday.
