Sports Take: Kyrie Irving should get vaccinated

By Gio Gennero | Sports Writer

Kyrie Irving is one of my favorite players of all time, and I admire the way he stands by his beliefs no matter the scrutiny that comes with it. That being said, I firmly believe he should get the COVID-19 vaccine so he can return to play full time.

The Brooklyn Nets’ guard has played 10 games this season, missing 41 of their 51 games played. Irving isn’t allowed to play with the team in home games because of the vaccine mandate in New York, which Kyrie declined to take.
