Before anyone comes flying at us with a radical “KYRIE WON” take, let’s remember COVID is still killing many people per day and remember that people responsible for restrictions, past and future, ideally are trying to create broad rules to limit that. – 6:47 PM

With Kyrie Irving to be cleared to play in home games, it increases the chances of Brooklyn to get up to No. 6, which should increase the prioritization of the No. 1 seed in the East. – 6:41 PM

Nets are on the road Saturday, have a back-to-back at home against Charlotte on Sunday. So I guess that will be Kyrie Irving’s home debut? I’m hedging because this has been such a mess. – 6:35 PM

And according to the mayor’s office, Kyrie Irving could always practice at HSS Training Center with or without ‘Key to nyc’ being in place. So that has never changed. #Nets – 6:19 PM

Quickest way for #Suns to clinch top overall seed in playoffs?
Win next two at T-Wolves and at Nuggets OR win Wednesday at T-Wolves and Memphis lose Wednesday home to Brooklyn.
If Grizzlies fall to #Nets, they can only win 58 games at the most.
Kyrie Irving can play on road. pic.twitter.com/qu5r7GUiRx – 8:01 PM

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: Sources: Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving will be cleared for home games as New York City will on Thursday change private sector vaccine mandate to allow exemption for athletes and entertainers in workplace. Unvaccinated Yankees and Mets players also now eligible for home games. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / March 23, 2022
Shams Charania: NYC Mayor Eric Adams will level the playing field for in-town athletes and performers to match the rule that allows unvaccinated individuals to perform in NYC, sources familiar with the situation tell @TheAthletic @Stadium . Now, NYC local athletes will have the same guidelines. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / March 23, 2022
Adrian Wojnarowski: Story filed to ESPN w/ @JeffPassan : Progress toward further changes to NYC’s private-sector vaccine mandate has inspired confidence that Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving could be back on court for home games in near future. Yankees and Mets players would be cleared before Opening Day too. -via Twitter @wojespn / March 23, 2022
