The Brooklyn Nets will make a collective decision on the fate of their point guard Kyrie Irving, the US site ESPN reported on Monday.
The club management is to organize a meeting in the presence of Kevin Durant and James Harden.
Together, they will have to choose whether or not to allow Irving to play only away games this season, which is half the games.
While 95% of NBA players are vaccinated eight days before the resumption, Irving still refuses to submit.
The league instituted a very restrictive health protocol for the unvaccinated and decided that those who missed games for this reason would have their wages reduced.
Jordan positions himself
If the leader saw his ban on training lifted Friday, due to the private nature of the Nets training building, the New York City Hall nevertheless still refuses him the right to play at the Barclays Center, the room where the club plays. .
Earlier in the same day, legend Michael Jordan positioned himself in favor of the protocol put in place by the NBA for the unvaccinated.
“I am in unison with the league.
Everyone has given their opinion on vaccines.
I firmly believe in science, ”he explained in an interview on the American channel NBC.
"I'll stick to that, and I hope everyone follows the rules."
While the Charlottes Hornets boss is cautious in his expression, another NBA legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, has been more vehement in calling for the vaccination.
For the former Lakers player, "a player should imperatively submit to it otherwise he would have to be removed from the team."
