Sunday the mayor of New York Eric Adams announced that on March 7 the city of New York should ease its restrictions concerning COVID, in particular for the obligation of vaccination in performance halls or restaurants. We thought for a moment that this was synonymous with a return to the game for Kyrie Irving, but the private sector orders in place should prevent the Net from playing at home, while it will be able to attend matches. Eric Adams opened up about it to CNBC
“Listen, I want to see Kyrie on the courts,” Adams said. “I would do anything to have this ring. I want her so badly. But there’s so much at stake here. And I spoke with the team owner. We want to find a way to get Kyrie to play, but that’s a bigger issue. I can’t have my town shut down again. It would send the wrong message to make a single-player exception when we tell countless New York City employees, ‘If you don’t follow the rules, you can’t be employed.’ »
The mayor conceded that the current rules, which prevent Kyrie from playing at home while other unvaccinated players from opposing teams can play in New York, “do not make sense”, but “he must follow the rules. If I don’t, I’m going to open a door that sends the wrong message to employees. A blow for the Nets and the point guard, who may have to wait many more weeks, and he could end up not playing at home all season.
“Companies have their obligations when it comes to vaccination. City employees are required to be vaccinated. I have to follow the rules. And trust me, I want Kyrie on the court,” Adams said. “We are here right now opening up our city because of the vaccination mandates. We cannot close again. I can’t let my town shut down again. »
“We’re just waiting to see how it all pans out,” Nash said. “It’s not my field to get involved in regulations and mandates, so I’ll just wait patiently and hopefully we get some good news at some point. »
Patience…
