Steve Nash says he and the Nets have not had renewed conversations with Kyrie Irving to get vaccinated, and also discusses how Brooklyn prepares to play with 2 different home/road rotations:<br><br>”Just try to keep it really simple” <a href=”https://t.co/6bSzMFDv1R”>pic.twitter.com/6bSzMFDv1R</a>
“Not since we had those conversations in the preseason,” Nash said.
Irving is not eligible to play home games without getting a COVID-19 vaccine because of New York City restrictions. The Nets initially decided he would not be allowed to participate as a part-time player, but they changed their plans earlier this month after the roster was limited because of COVID-19 cases.
“We believe that the addition of Kyrie will not only make us a better team but allow us to more optimally balance the physical demand on the entire roster,” general manager Sean Marks said in a statement.
