Brooklyn Nets Point guard Kyrie Irving has played her first match of the season.
The saga called Kyrie Irving got its epilogue – the unvaccinated NBA basketball player waited until January and played his first match this season.
Kyrie Irving helped the Brooklyn Nets beat the Indian Pacers with 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists, and also recorded 3 steals and 2 turnovers.
He will play games only on the away field until the end of the season, because the regulations in New York, as an unvaccinated resident, do not allow him to play matches for the Brooklyn Nets.
“Being in this environment and playing with the best of the best is where I belong,” Irving said. “This is where I’ve worked my entire life to be. So, it was like riding a bike or just being at your first day of school again, just going back out there. And I missed it.”
Here’s what his debut this season vs Indian Pacers looked like:
