While some fans and pundits speculate about what the Nets could do with Kyrie Irving — trade him for Ben Simmons is often mentioned — the Brooklyn brain trust is trying patience while Irving decides whether to get a shot or not.
Irving nor the Nets have said anything official about his vaccination status but his unavailability for games, team activities and until Friday, practices, confirm he’s among the unvaccinated, one of a smaller and smaller minority of NBA players who haven’t yet been jabbed.
As ESPN reported Friday...
The Nets, according to sources, remain unclear on Irving’s intentions for getting vaccinated, and the organization has made no decision, as of Thursday, on whether it will accommodate him as a part-time player this season.
