Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving was unable to attend the NBA’s media day in person on Monday due to health and safety protocols, but logged on via Zoom to repeatedly ask for privacy concerning his vaccination status.
While former Late Show host David Letterman was there in person to quiz Kevin Durant, Irving only appeared via a screen set up in the media room of the Barclays Center.
This is due to New York’s mandate requiring all athletes who play or practice in the city to have been vaccinated from COVID-19.
