Kyrie Irving’s 60-point barrage was magnificent but I just wish we could see more of this

Kyrie Irving did it again but I just want to see it more.

All 60-point games are pretty incredible accomplishments, to say the least. But not all 60-point games are the same.

And the one Kyrie Irving just had in Brooklyn’s win over the Orlando Magic was one for the history books, man. It was spectacular. Just an incredible sight to bear witness to on the basketball court.

Irving was absolutely in his bag against the Magic. He went 8-12 from 3-point range and 20-31 from the field overall. The dude just could not miss. And when he did miss, you were legitimately surprised.

After he had an absolutely historic 50-point barrage against the Hornets literally just a week ago, it was hard to imagine him topping that performance this season.

That dude must really have something against the Southeast division because here we are, yet again, after another historic scoring.

This one was pretty incredible.

Proof of vaccination or negative COVID test needed to attend Duck games

Fans 12 years and older will need to show proof of vaccination or a three-day-old negative COVID test in order to attend Duck games.

The University of Oregon announced Thursday afternoon that in order to attend Duck games on campus, fans over 12 years of age will either need proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within three days as of Aug. 23.

The U of O’s decision was made in partnership with public health authorities and peer institutions in the state to help keep the local communities safe in the face of rising COVID case counts.

Oregon State announced the same mandate.

Other sports organizations in the state such as the Portland Trail Blazers are expected to also have these similar mandates in order to attend their games. The Major League Soccer team Portland Timbers and the NWSL Thorns will activate mandates on Aug. 25.

Whether these mandates mean less attendance to Oregon Duck games remains to be seen but considering no Duck fan has been able to attend a game since 2019, it’s still likely Autzen Stadium will be full, or close to it, when Fresno State comes calling Sept. 4.
