Brooklyn Nets’ Kyrie Irving went to visit his teammates in the dressing room during the halftime break in the game against the New York Knicks. The problem: The NBA star is revaccinated. Therefore, he was not allowed to visit the cabin. According to the Corona protection measures of the city of New York, as an unvaccinated player, he is not allowed to be in the same room as immunized players. Since the dressing room is just as much a working area for basketball professionals as the field, he violated this rule. Now the Brooklyn Nets have been fined $50,000 for not allowing Irving into the dressing room.
For the first time in weeks, Irving was allowed to attend a game in New York. Coach Steve Nash also confirmed Irving’s presence in the dressing room during halftime after the game. As a player who has not been vaccinated against Corona, Irving is only allowed to play away games anyway. The Nets finally won the duel with 110:107.
