BREAKING NEWS: Nets Say Kyrie Won’t Play, Practice Until Eligible – Kyrie Irving will not play or practice with the Brooklyn Nets until he is eligible to become a full participant under local COVID-19 vaccination requirements, general manager Sean Marks said Tuesday. “Kyrie has made a personal choice, and we respect his individual right to choose. Currently the choice restricts his ability to be a full-time member of the team, and we will not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability. It is imperative that we continue to build chemistry as a team and remain true to our long-established values of togetherness and sacrifice,” Marks said in a statement. “Our championship goals for the season have not changed, and to achieve these goals each member of our organization must pull in the same direction.
