The latest NBA 2021-2022 season is about to begin, but for some players who refuse to play the vaccine, I am afraid that some future games will have to be missed. Due to New York City’s official COVID agreement, at least one dose of vaccine is required to enter indoor stadiums, including Brooklyn Nets’s home stadium Barclays Center and New York Knicks’s home stadium, Madison Square Garden. Kyrie Irving, who has not yet been vaccinated, has missed a warm-up match and Several training sessions.
The current coach of the team, Steve Nash, mentioned in an interview that in the new season they will assume that Kyrie Irving will be absent from all home games. He also pointed out that circumstances may change in the future, perhaps alluding to Kyrie Irving’s reluctance to be vaccinated. And to friend Blake Griffin also expressed that no matter what the final result, he will support Kyrie Irving’s decision.
