Edit 11:40 p.m .: According to Shams and Woj, the ordinances in place concerning the private sector should still prevent Kyrie Irving to be able to play at home, even if he will be able to attend the matches at the Barclays Center.
To see if by then the mayor also decides to change this regulation.
Edit 11:05 p.m .: New York Mayor Eric Adams has just announced that starting March 7, if the epidemic continues to slow, New York City will ease up on its COVID regulations and lift the mandate. This directly concerns Kyrie Irving and the Nets since from March 7, if the COVID numbers do not soar, it will no longer be mandatory to be vaccinated to go to restaurants, theaters, and to work.
Kyrie should therefore finally be able to play at home in a week, the first game being March 13 against the Knicks, very good news for him and the Nets. This should also coincide with the return of Kevin Durantwhile waiting for Ben Simmons.
New York City’s #COVID numbers continue to go down.
So long as our indicators show a low level of risk and we see no surprises this week, on Monday, March 7 we will also remove the vaccination requirements for Key2NYC — meaning indoor dining, fitness and entertainment venues.
— Mayor Eric Adams (@NYCMayor) February 27, 2022
February 23: A few weeks before the start of the playoffs, Kyrie Irving still can’t play in New York because he’s not vaccinated and has no intention of doing so. He and the Nets are therefore counting on a change in the regulations in New York and they are optimistic about an evolution in the coming weeks. The latest news should make them smile.
Indeed, Mayor Eric Adams, in place since January 1, has just declared that there is a plan to phase out the obligation to be vaccinated “in the coming weeks. »
“Yes, there will be a removal of the mandate, and I can’t wait. »Eric Adams
If for the moment the regulations do not change, this gives hope to the Nets, remains to be seen if this will take place before or after the start of the playoffs, because “in the weeks to come” it remains unclear.
