The Brooklyn Nets have been approved to allow fans to return to Barclays Center beginning Feb. 23 against the Sacramento Kings, pending approval by the NBA.

Cuomo said that in accordance with the New York State Department of Health, anyone who plans to attend must return a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the game. At games, face coverings will be required, along with temperature checks.
