Fillets de Brooklyn He’s in the NBA Eastern Conference with a 6-3 record after beating the Detroit Pistons to Cade Cunningham at dawn. The franchise manages to get through this start of the 2021/22 season without the presence of Kyrie Irving, one of its stars, absent for having made the decision not to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
New York law prevents Irving from playing for the Nets. If it looked like the state itself was going to give in to the situation of the NBA player, the mayor of NY himself, Eric Adams, appeared at the scene to reaffirm his position.
This was made clear in an interview with CNN reporter Wolf Blitzer. Adams explains that if a solution is to be found, the Brooklyn Nets will have to convince Irving to get the shot.
“New York is not going to change or give in,” Eric Adams said. “And let me tell you one thing, I’m a fan of the Brooklyn Nets and I love Kyrie Irving. I think he’s an essential piece and we need a yes or a yes to win the championship. But we are not going to give in. It depends on the NBA, the Nets and Irving’s ability to find a solution to the problem. We are not going to change our rules. ”
Without forcing anything
Although he clarified New York’s position, Mayor Adams was also keen to stress that he is far from forcing Irving to go through the vaccination process. “It depends on him, it’s his determination. I don’t want to dictate him or his body, ”said Eric Adams.
On CNN, New York Major-elect Eric Adams said the city will not change its vaccine requirements, shutting the door on an unvaccinated Kyrie Irving playing for the Nets this season.
