Asked Nash if he’s optimistic about Kyrie after Silver and Adams comment:
“Everyone realizes there is a little bit of a strange loophole that there are other (unvaccinated) athletes and entertainers who can come to New York and perform. So we’re hopeful there’s a resolution.” – 6:56 PM

Nash says he’s still hopeful that the NYC vax mandate will get rolled back and Kyrie will be able to play— but the organization remains in a holding pattern waiting to city what the mayor will ultimately decide. – 6:09 PM

Steve Nash on NYC vaccine mandates being lifted, which would allow Kyrie Irving to play: “Obviously we’re hopeful. But its out of our hands…We’ll wait hopefully for the best outcome.” #Nets #NBA – 6:06 PM

NYC mayor Eric Adams says vaccine mandate keeping Kyrie Irving out at home games is “unfair” bc it says away players can play unvaxxed. He’s “struggling” with it.

Instead of saying Kyrie Irving should get his vaccination shot, NBA’s commissioner is questioning New York City’s arena rule. Very sad, Adam Silver. Very. – 12:16 PM

If Adam Silver doesn’t believe in the application of NYC’s vaccine mandate as it relates to Kyrie Irving, as he just said on ESPN, he should let the Nets pay the fine so Irving can play. – 11:35 AM

Adam Silver is right — the rules regarding vaxed/unvaxed players should be uniform in New York. Effectively: If Kyrie can’t play, unvaccinated visiting players shouldn’t be able to play, either. This isn’t a vaccine debate. The mandate, as written, makes no sense. – 11:17 AM

Adam Silver thinks New York City “should take a look at” its vaccine mandate, he said on ESPN. The one that keeps Kyrie Irving from playing Nets home games. Says he could see Mayor Eric Adams changing it.

#NBA commissioner Adam Silver makes a great point: Why should NYC vaccine mandate, which is keeping Kyrie Irving sidelined, only apply to players from the home team? Another example of crazy COVID rules in New York making less and less sense. – 9:36 AM

On Monday, the Ontario government announced that the province will be ramping up its reopening timeline. The NHL’s Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the NBA’s Toronto Raptors will be permitted to increase 50 percent capacity beginning on Feb. 17. In addition, if public health officials believe that it’s a safe environment, then arenas could move to full capacity beginning on March 1. -via CBSSports.com / February 14, 2022
Eric Koreen: In a statement, MLSE says it hasn’t determined whether or not its facilities will still mandate full vaccination in coming games. Says decision will be made “based on further discussions with public health officials.” -via Twitter @ekoreen / February 14, 2022
