Kyrie Irving has been in the news this entire offseason, and not for the right reasons. While it was his personal choice not to get vaccinated against the deadly COVID-19, his decisions are not taking a toll on his professional career.
In case you missed the entire drama – the Nets guard chose to remain unvaccinated and doesn’t see himself getting it anytime soon. Then, due to a state mandate, it discloses that Irving wouldn’t be able to play games in New York until he gets vaccinated.
And finally, the Brooklyn Nets front office has had enough. In a recent statement, the organization stated until the 6-foot-3 flashy handler wouldn’t take the vaccine, he wouldn’t be allowed to participate in any team events – not even practice.

Kevin Durant hasn’t spoken to Kyrie Irving since the team’s decision
According to sources, Kevin Durant hasn’t spoken to Kyrie ever since the team made their brutal decision of not allowing the unvaccinated Irving to participate in team events. NBA insider, Ohm Youngmisuk of “The Athletic” stated:
“Kevin Durant says he has not spoken to Kyrie Irving since Tuesday’s news of the Nets saying Irving will not play or practice with the team.”
KD and Kyrie actually had a pretty solid friendship. The fact that Durant hasn’t approached, or maybe couldn’t catch hold of Kyrie is a pretty huge deal. And it very well could be the fact that Irving’s decisions, leading to him not playing for the Nets, has stained his relationship with the Duraantula.
