kyrie irving, one of the best nba athletes in the league right now, but now that the nba has warned that vaccine mandates could prevent athletes from playing, the brooklyn nets all-star guard is mum on whether he will be vaccinated and able to join his team on the court. there s a lot of questions about what s going on in the world of kai ring. and i think i ll just would love to keep that private and, you know, handle it the right way with my team and go forward together with a plan. irving is one of a small group of players who will not disclose whether they are vaccinated. the nba says they will not be playing players who are forced to miss games because of vaccine mandates.
