Kyrie Irving is not allowed to play inside of the state of New York because he is not vaccinated. He said he would play in road games, but the team said they would rather play without him until he could play in all games.

The Nets have started the season 1-1 losing to Milwaukee 127-104, then beating the 76ers 114-109 on Friday night.

There’s no official word yet on Irving’s vaccination status, but many expect him to see the court this season, whether it is for the Nets or another franchise.
