A few days ago, New York Mayor Eric Adams said that if there is no accident, he will cancel the vaccination requirements of New York City on March 7, local time, but this does not mean that Irving can play the home game immediately.
After the cancellation of the epidemic prevention regulations in New York, Irving will still be restricted by the regulations of the private sector, and he can return to the bench to watch the game, but he cannot participate in the game. This is because the competition is not available for requests from large employers in New York City.
In an interview with the US media, New York Mayor Adams personally admitted, "In order to get Irving to get the championship ring, I am willing to do anything, I want the championship too much, but the stakes are very high, I have told countless New Yorkers, 'If you don't follow the rules, you can't be hired', if you give a player privilege, it will send a wrong message." 」 ”
Adams thinks the ban on Irving playing at home is ridiculous, and that away players who aren't vaccinated can play in New York City, but the rules are rules, and it's impossible to open a back door for someone.
Although Irving has taken a big step on the road to lifting the ban, there is still a considerable way to go to play in the home game right away, the Nets do need him to play full-time, obviously New York's regulations should consider the overall situation, if Adams uses power for personal gain, set a threshold for the Nets alone, his mayoral position will be done.
