Adding to the intrigue over his basketball future, Nets point guard Kyrie Irving posted a picture of Morpheus from The Matrix to his Instagram on Monday.
Stephon Marbury and Rod Strickland were among the former NBA players to leave comments on his post showing their support.
Irving has missed the first seven games of the season over his refusal to get vaccinated amid New York's COVID-19 mandate.
Last week, Nets owner Joe Tsai said he hopes Irving "gets vaccinated as soon as possible" but also stated that the All-Star won't play for the team until he is vaccinated or New York's COVID-19 vaccine mandate is lifted.
