Kyrie Irving unable to practice with Nets in Brooklyn due to New York's COVID vaccination protocols

Kyrie Irving did not practice with the Brooklyn Nets in Brooklyn on Tuesday as the point guard is unable to practice or play in New York under the city's COVID vaccination protocols.

After practicing with the team last week at training camp in San Diego, Irving did not attend the team's first practice back in Brooklyn. Local players playing in the New York market must have at least one vaccination shot in order to practice or play in New York.

"No further update," Nash told reporters after Nets practice about Irving's status for home practices and games.
