NBA Training Possible for Irving – Sports

At least the Brooklyn Nets will probably be able to do training again with their playmaker Kyrie Irving. A use at home games is currently still not possible due to its unclear vaccination status, as Nets coach Steve Nash indicated on Friday (local time) before the preparatory game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Irving was not eligible to play for the game, which is an indication that he has not yet been vaccinated against the corona virus and is therefore not allowed to enter a sports hall in New York. When asked about his vaccination status, the 29-year-old emphasized that this was his private matter.

According to a report by the broadcaster ESPN, he could at least take part in the training because the corresponding facility of the Nets is classified as a private office building. “At least he can train, but we want him for the whole thing,” said team-mate Kevin Durant. Nash was reluctant. “It sounds like we could have Kyrie away with us, but I’m not sure he’ll play because we haven’t seen him in a week,” said the Nets coach.
