The Brooklyn Nets didn’t want unvaccinated Kyrie Irving to be part-time player. But because of COVID-19 cases, injuries and an increasing minutes load for Kevin Durant and James Harden, the Nets will allow Irving to play in road games in jurisdictions where unvaccinated players are allowed to play, Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. “After discussions with our coaches, players and staff, the organization has decided to have Kyrie Irving re-join the team for games and practices in which he is eligible to participate,” Marks said. “We arrived at this decision with the full support of our players and after careful consideration of our current circumstances, including players missing games due to injuries and health and safety protocols.
