NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the New York City vaccination mandate that is preventing Nets guard Kyrie Irving from playing in home games "doesn't quite make sense to me" during an appearance on ESPN's Get Up on Wednesday morning.
As an unvaccinated player against COVID-19, Irving cannot play at the Barclays Center because of the mandate. However, a player from a different market who is unvaccinated can play in New York City.
"This law in New York, the oddity of it to me is that it only applies to home players," Silver said.
