NEW YORK (AP) — Kyrie Irving can finally suit up at Barclays Center.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams will announce Thursday that he’s exempting athletes and performers from the city’s vaccine mandate for private workers, effective immediately. That will let Irving play at home for the Brooklyn Nets again and allow unvaccinated members of the New York Yankees and Mets to play baseball in their home ballparks.
Irving had been barred from playing in New York and Toronto for refusing to get vaccinated. The Nets have just six home games remaining in the regulation season.
