NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There was drama outside of the Brooklyn Nets‘ home opener at Barclays Center on Sunday.
Protesters tried storming the entrance over the team’s decision not to let Kyrie Irving play because he won’t get vaccinated, CBS2’s Lisa Rozner reported.
Irving has said this is not about being for or against vaccines, but “about being true to what feels good” for him.
Rally organizers said they were taking a stance against New York City’s vaccine mandate.
Just before Sunday’s 4 p.m. tip-off, barricades at Barclays Center entrance were removed.
