Supporters of Kyrie Irving stormed Barclays Center, Sunday, in protest of vaccine mandates.
Supporters of Nets star Kyrie Irving descended upon Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, to protest vaccine mandates, Sunday.
Irving has vocally opposed mandatory vaccinations and is currently not allowed to play with Nets while he remains unvaccinated for COVID-19.
Protesters carried signs which read “No mandates,” and “My Body, My Choice.” They chanted phrases such as “Stand with Kyrie” and “Let Kyrie play.”
Local restrictions in Brooklyn, as well as other cities, would prevent Irving from participating in most of the team’s games this season. With that being the case, the Nets decided that he won’t play or practice with the team altogether until he gets vaccinated.
