Brooklyn Nets All-Star Kyrie Irving is expected to miss home games due to refusing to comply with New York City’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Irving was allowed to practice with the team after the Nets’ training facility was considered private. His return to the team’s home court, however, will remain restricted.
