“Of course Kyrie Irving is unvaccinated!”: NBA Twitter reacts to speculation about Nets and Warriors stars reportedly yet to take Covid-19 vaccines despite federal mandates

Kyrie Irving joins Andrew Wiggins on the list of NBA players reportedly yet to take vaccination shots for Covid-19.

Major US metropolitan areas have implemented strict vaccine mandates with regard to the pandemic. The country is in the midst of an unexpected 3rd wave. Their daily infection and death rates hovering at January 2021 rates.

Most of these deaths and infections are coming from the unvaccinated segment of the population. Official reports reveal that Florida is the Covid-19 hotspot of the country at the moment. The state accounts for nearly a fifth of the infections over the past few months.

NBA writer Yaron Weitzman says that Kyrie Irving is among the Brooklyn Nets yet to be vaccinated. In his latest piece for Fox Sports, he quotes a statement by Nets GM Sean Marks ahead of 2021-22:

“Regarding if they could play today, I can’t comment on who could play and so forth. There would obviously be a couple people missing from that picture,” Marks said.
