Kyrie Irving Says He Wasn’t Prepared for the Consequences Of Not Being Vaccinated

Kyrie finally talking about not getting vaccinated.

The Brooklyn Nets announced Tuesday that Kyrie Irving, along with Kevin Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge, have cleared the NBA’s health and safety protocols.

Steve Nash mapped out a timeline, basically it’s going to be a few weeks until we see Kyrie back on the court.

Now Kyrie is speaking on his absence, and how he wasn’t ready for what would follow when he opted not to get the vaccine.

Kyrie Irving on when he’ll play: “I’m at peace with the ramp up but I can’t sugarcoat it — I’m just looking forward to that first game, whether it be the 5th or some time after that.”

Kyrie said he wants to get back into optimal shape.

Kyrie Irving has not played this season, mostly due to his decision not to be vaccinated against the coronavirus and the Nets initially not being willing to have the perennial All-Star with them on a part-time basis.

Of course that all changed when the Nets began to have issues fielding a healthy squad.

If the Nets do get to the Finals, what happens if Kyrie can’t play in road games.

Can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
