Nets may grow tired of waiting for Irving
Superstar point guard's vaccine status remains a mystery
In a perfect world, Kyrie Irving would step out onto the Barclays Center hardwood Friday night with the rest of his teammates, fully vaccinated or at the very least the recipient of one shot to protect against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
But there has been nothing even close to perfect about the Brooklyn Nets’ preseason to date, due mainly to the mysterious status of Irving, who will not be allowed to practice or play alongside his teammates anywhere in New York City until he has proof of vaccination.
Irving missed Tuesday’s practice at the team’s facility in Sunset Park on Tuesday and Nets head coach Steve Nash intimated that there was no plan to have the team practice outside of the city limits so that Irving could participate.
