Kyrie Irving’s vaccination status continues to be a source of tension.
Just this week, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne reported that his decision to remain unvaccinated was an early-season source of angst for the Nets. Their ESPN teammate Zach Lowe surmised that if Irving had chosen to receive one dosage of the COVID-19 vaccine, Brooklyn’s “Big Three” might still be intact — meaning that James Harden might never asked out of Brooklyn.
Nick Friedell, also of ESPN, asked Irving after Saturday’s game against Miami if he felt any guilt for how things had gone this season.
