As CBS2’s Chris Wragge reports, while Irving spoke, he didn’t necessarily provide many answers.

“Don’t believe that I’m retiring. Don’t believe that I’mma give up this game for a vaccine mandate or staying unvaccinated,” Irving said.

Irving can keep refusing to get the COVID vaccine. He just won’t play for the Brooklyn Nets until he does.
