Kyrie Irving’s Nets teammate convincing him to get vaccine?
One of Kyrie Irving’s teammates on the Brooklyn Nets may influence the guard to change his mind regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.
Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo! Sports reported this week that league sources believe Irving will end up getting the COVID-19 vaccine, citing the influence of close friend and teammate Kevin Durant.
For the time being, the seven-time All-Star Irving sounds very much like a vaccine skeptic. He was not able to attend Nets’ media day this week due to health and safety protocols, as New York City does not allow unvaccinated individuals to attend certain indoor events. Irving has also recently been showing support for anti-vaccine sentiments.
Durant has been working overtime lately in standing up for Irving. He may end up being the one to convince his Nets co-star to finally get vaccinated.
