If NYC lifts this indoor vaccine mandate, Kyrie Irving still won’t be able to play at home

CNN  

CNN — New York City plans to soon lift one of its Covid-19 vaccine requirements for indoor activities, but Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving, who is unvaccinated, still won’t be able to play home games due to the city’s workplace vaccine mandate, a city official confirmed to CNN. On Sunday, New York Mayor Eric Adams announced that provided the city’s Covid-19 numbers continue to go down, he plans to lift the city’s requirement to show proof of vaccination for indoor activities such as dining, attending gyms and entertainment facilities for those ages 5 and older starting March 7. NBA commissioner Adam Silver noted that paradox on ESPN’s “Get Up” two weeks ago, saying the city rule “doesn’t quite make sense to me.” “This law in New York, the oddity of it to me is that it only applies to home players,” Silver said. As an unvaccinated player, Irving – a seven-time NBA All-Star – made his return to the Nets in January, playing in only road games due to the city’s mandate.
