On March 20, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In recent times, Nets star Irving has been the focus of fan and media attention, playing well on the court, but according to the current policy, he cannot play at home for the Nets.
Earlier today, the Nets and Irving were once again met with bad news. According to FOX Sports, Ashwin Vasan, the new director of the New York City Health Commission, said in an interview that New York City's epidemic prevention regulations for the private sector will be extended indefinitely, and there are currently no plans to cancel the regulations in New York City.
Under this rule, many sports teams in New York City, including the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Nets, will not be able to play at home without the COVID-19 vaccine!
It is worth mentioning that just two days ago, New York Mayor Adams also said that he would relax the covid-19 vaccine requirements for city employees. However, it is clear that after many considerations, the existing epidemic prevention system in New York will continue to be continued, which also makes Irving continue to work as a part-time player!
So far this season, Irving has played just 19 games, averaging 36.1 minutes per game, 27.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists, shooting 49 percent from the field and 43 percent from three-point range. Under existing policy, Irving has only 3 games left in the regular season this season.
