At present, the Nets' core backcourt Kyrie Irving still refuses to be vaccinated, which also makes him still unable to play for the Nets, and it seems that Irving will still insist on refusing to vaccinate, which is even supported by boxing champion Floyd Mayweather.
Floyd Mayweather posted a video on social media in which Mayweather expressed her support for Owen:
"Carey, I know you've been through a lot, you just want to be treated fairly, we have freedom of choice, I respect your integrity and making the choices you want to make, your free thinking makes your own choices. People hate that you're a leader, it's crazy. ”
Due to New York City's epidemic prevention requirements, Irving needs to get at least one shot of the new crown vaccine before playing home games for the Nets, and the current choice of the Nets management is to continue to ban Irving until vaccination, because the team does not want Irving to be just a "part-time player" of the team for the whole season.
The Nets will also host a game against the Heat on October 28, Beijing time, and Irving is the only player in the Nets who cannot play. Without Irving, the Nets have a 2-2 record in the last 4 games, and given the state dilemma james Harden is facing, if the Nets want to storm the championship trophy, there is no doubt that Kyrie Irving's comeback is needed.
It's just that as the season continues, it remains to be seen whether Kyrie Irving will change his position on vaccination, but as Irving gets more and more support, it is estimated that unless New York City lifts the epidemic restrictions, it will be difficult for Irving to return to the Nets by refusing to be vaccinated.
