Irving said he was grateful but declined to say if he would be vaccinated

The unvaccinated Kairi Irving made his expected debut in the away win of the Nets against the Pacers (121-129), was able to stop with 22 points and was then called to make a statement. And he was a “wasp” again when asked what everyone wondered: will he be vaccinated?

“I am grateful that I fought today. “I just got down on the floor and had a good time doing what I love.” Irving said first, adding: ““We didn’t start well in the first half, but in the second half we came out of the locker room knowing we had to get serious in order to build the identity we want for the season.”

However, while discussing whether he changed his mind about the vaccine, the Nets star tried to have the conversation elsewhere: ““Dude, I just take it every day. As I said, the situation is not ideal and I pray that a solution will be found so that there can be an agreement with the league or a solution to the coronavirus and vaccine in general.” . “

In conclusion, Irving emphasized: “I think everyone feels that there is a problem. I don’t want the topic to affect me or the rules to change for me. I knew and still know the consequences of my decision. I just take it day in and day out and enjoy playing with my teammates. We’ll see how it turns out at the end of the season. “
