Speaking on Instagram Live, Kyrie Irving said he didn't want to lose salary or a chance to compete for a championship with the Nets, but was doing “what's best for me” by refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The NBA team said its star player will not play nor practice with the team until he complies with New York City's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.NEW YORK -- Kyrie Irving said Wednesday he didn't want to lose salary or a chance to compete for a championship with the Brooklyn Nets, but was doing “what's best for me” by refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Irving would have been able to practice with the Nets and play in road games outside New York. The Nets will pay him for those but he is giving up about half of his $35 million salary by missing the home games. Irving said he supported people who were and weren't vaccinated and expressed appreciation for doctors. The All-Star guard didn't give any indication that he was against being vaccinated, just that he was deciding not to.
