Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks has confirmed Kyrie Irving "will not play or practice with the team until he is eligible to be a full participant," as issues relating to the star guard's vaccination status continue.

On Friday, a New York City Hall official told CNN that Irving will be allowed to practice at the team's facility but will not be eligible to play in the Nets' home games at Barclays Center due to the city's Covid-19 vaccine mandate.

Head coach Steve Nash had admitted that his team will be without Irving for foreseeable home games but Marks said the Nets would not allow a member of the team to be part-time.

"Kyrie has made a personal choice, and we respect his individual right to choose," Marks said in a statement.

Walk with pride, Kyrie.

12. For now, but eventually they'll find out that he's Black.

That won't go over well in trumpland.

4. Yep, he was blessed with unsurpassed basketball skills but...

it seems he was left lacking in the critical thinking skills department. He also argues that the world is flat.

Moron is right.

6. He Retracted That, But Still

His problem is he believes he's always the smartest one in the room, but in a room full of people he's seldom in the upper 50%.
Went to Duke for 15 minutes and thinks he's a highly educated genius.
He's wrong.

8. Yep. And wasn't he one of the one-and-done Duke players?

9. He Was

That's why I remarked he went to Duke for 15 minutes.
He NEVER went to class after the ACC tournament, because by then his eligibility for the NCAA tournament was fixed.
He was in school for literally 5.5 months, and he thinks he's an expert about everything.

11. Kyrie is a nut case. And as a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ...

let me also say, "Fuck DOOK!"

3. He's the dumb shit that was a flat-Earther too.

7. Operative Word, "Was"

He backtracked on that when social media made it clear he looked like an idiot.
He lives for his IG account, & he got ratioed so badly he waved the white flag.
He's still a know-nothing punk, though.

5. Good. Take a hike, Kyrie. (nt)

10. Ignorance and perceived social network social status are the causes here, not politics

Unfortunately, as a sports celebrity, Kyrie Irving is negatively affecting the public health of many who are influenced by him. Let's hope he wises up, and publically gets the vaccination.

That said, apparently Ted Cruz and Don Trump Jr are already praising him on Twitter-- once again demonstrating their lack of concern for public health and the common good.
