We just saw BI at practice rocking Kyrie’s sneakers. He informed us he’s a sneaker free agent now and he’s looking forward to seeing what comes next.
BI was previously an Adidas athlete. – 2:50 PM

The Nets returned to practice in Brooklyn today without Kyrie Irving. Steve Nash also said there’s no consideration to moving practices outside New York to be able to practice with his starting point guard espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 2:45 PM

Two weeks before playing in the NBA’s season-opening game, the Nets hold their first practice in Brooklyn without Kyrie Irving amid questions about his availability to play in New York because of the city’s vaccine mandate.

Steve Nash said the Nets don’t plan to move practice out of their Brooklyn facility, to say…Long Island or New Jersey, in order to get Irving able to join them. “This is our home, this is where we’re going to practice.” – 2:05 PM

Steve Nash says there is no change to Kyrie Irving’s status. He is not at practice in BKN today. NYC requires Knicks/Nets to be vaccinated to participate in games/practices within city limits. – 1:18 PM

I also have an extremely nuanced (and somewhat informed) take on the human that is Kyrie. I’m gonna save that for irl convo, though. – 1:01 AM

More on this storyline
Ohm Youngmisuk: Steve Nash says Kyrie Irving is not with the Nets today at practice in Brooklyn. He says there “is no further update” on Irving’s status to practice or play in New York under the city’s COVID protocols. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / October 5, 2021
“They didn’t make the rule,” Wiggins said. “But I guess to do certain stuff, to work, I guess you don’t own your body. That’s what it comes down to. If you want to work in society today, then I guess they made the rules of what goes in your body and what you do. Hopefully, there’s a lot of people out there that are stronger than me and keep fighting, stand for what they believe, and hopefully, it works out for them.” -via ESPN / October 5, 2021
Wiggins also said he is the only member of his family who is vaccinated. “It’s not really something we believe in as a family,” he said. “They know that I had to. It came down to get the vaccination or don’t play basketball. I’m 26. I have two kids. I want more kids. I’m trying to do something that will generate as much money as I can for my kids and my future kids, [create] generational wealth. So, I took the gamble, took the risk, and hopefully, I’m good.” -via ESPN / October 5, 2021
