Brooklyn Nets Kyrie Irving is one of a number of NBA players who have either firmly said no or are expressing great hesitancy at getting the Covid-19 vaccine
LOS ANGELES – NBA star Kyrie Irving skipped the Brooklyn Nets media day on Monday because of Covid-19 protocols and declined to discuss his vaccination status, which could prevent him from playing home games this season.
“I would like to keep that stuff private,” Irving told reporters via a Zoom call.
“I know that I’ll be there every day no matter what and just be present for my teammates as one of the leaders on the team,” he said.
“I know the focus has to be at an all-time high, no distractions. This is the last thing I wanted to create, was more distractions and more hoopla and more drama around this.”
