Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has returned to training sessions with his team for the first time since the preseason. This comes after the Nets decided to exclude him due to his status as being unvaccinated against COVID-19. Irving expressed his gratitude for being able to return to practice while explaining that he understands the team’s decision to exclude him because of New York’s vaccine mandate.

In the opinion of coach Steve Nash, Irving will need one to two weeks of training in order to be ready to perform in a game on the road. Irving will continue to be unable to play home games, with the Barclays Center still being under the local mandate that stipulates that players must be vaccinated in order to play there.

Irving expressed his delight at rejoining his teammates on the practice court, explaining: “It’s my first day back around the block with the guys, and it felt like it’s been a long time. It’s only been, what, three months or so. But it has felt like the days have been slowly crossed off the calendar while I am sitting at home.”

In the past few days, Brooklyn Nets’ superstar Kyrie Irving emerged as the most prominent voice against NBA’s plan to resume the 2019/20 season in a “bubble” setting. And, according to reports, Irving isn’t just lobbying for players to boycott the league’s plan but is also pushing an intriguing alternative.

According to New York Daily News’ Stefan Bondy, Irving recently had a group chat with his teammates and tried to convince them to skip the proposed resume of the season. Also, the 28-year-old All-Star suggested that the players should start their own league.

Bondy later followed up on his original report, saying that Irving’s proposal “is not necessarily” in response NBA’s plan to wrap up 2019/20 at Disneyworld in Orlando. This indicates that Irving possibly thinks about forming a long-term alternative to the NBA.

Last week, Kyrie Irving led a conference call that featured approximately 80 NBA players, during which he strongly advocated that they shouldn’t join their teams in Orlando and focus instead on the fight against racial injustice in the wake of current social unrest in the United States. This group of players, featuring LA Lakers’ Dwight Howard and Avery Bradley among others, later issued a statement about the matter and NBA’s role in it.

Irving himself was already ruled out from the trip to Orlando, as he underwent a season-ending shoulder injury. His Brooklyn Nets are currently seventh seed in the East and will most likely make the playoffs.
