NBA burning preseason questions: Will Kyrie Irving be available for home games this season?

As of right now, Kyrie Irving isn’t eligible to participate in home games for the Brooklyn Nets. It was revealed that he had not been vaccinated yet and due to state law, he can’t play in home games for the team until that changes.

Question is, will it? There have been no updates on Kyrie and we likely won’t hear one until it’s time for him to suit up for the team. I’m not sure when that will be but you’d have to imagine that something will have to give.

Either this situation will end with Kyrie getting vaccinated and it becomes a non-issue for the rest of the year or this will be one of those things that hover around the team for a while – and perhaps turns into a distraction.
