Kyrie is dirty rotten no good and we have schadenfreude…?

I don’t think so. I think NYC rules are why it is a prominent story.
I know Brad Beal wasn’t but do not know his current status.
Not sure about the others listed, but Wiggins definitely is vaccinated, he wouldn't be able to play right now otherwise.
I forgot that the mandates only apply to home players, unvaxxed players can still play in NYC and San Fran. Wiggins had to get it or he would have had to miss home games, he still could have played in NYC and other road games if the warriors would have let him.
No one questioning how long he will last? Y’all know something else will come up that will cause him to miss time.

Pushback is fine it are those who misinterpret my point (which in fairness I don’t always make clear) that are annoying and imo ignorant. Thank you for not being that person in understanding my point here. It is one that is currently happening outside of the NBA as well during this holiday season in many families.
All I’m saying is that none of his teammates are going to refrain from high-fiving and hugging Kyrie in the same way they would any other teammate bc he’s not vaccinated.

How does this allowance work against the new NYC vaccine mandate for all businesses that goes into effect on 12/27?
I thought they had gotten around it by saying it was a gym or some such euphemism. But it seems the new mandate is comprehensive.

Based on the below, the mandate applies to "public indoor activities". Nets practices are likely considered private affairs.

Really hoping for a Nets/Raptors playoff series, although a healthy Nets team probably doesn't need Kyrie to beat Toronto. But his absence would be a huge problem if the Nets were to meet the Warriors in the Finals.
EDIT: If I was mayor of Milwaukee or Chicago, or governor of California, it would be very tempting to pass a vaccine mandate similar to NYC's or San Francisco's.
A lot can change from now to April. I wouldn’t completely rule out “Home playoff game Kyrie” just yet.
I think that's a different mandate that is older. The one I am talking about goes into effect on 12/27 and seems to cover ALL business workplaces, even those that are not public-facing.

Here's from the FAQ:
That seems to cover sports teams.

Kyrie Irving has entered the league’s Covid protocols, team says.

I'm sure he'll be fine so it's ok to laugh at him. Hopefully, he didn't expose anyone else.
It's also possible he doesn't actually have Covid.
Is he in protocol because of a positive test? Or is it due to the fact he wants to return but is unvaxxed, and so needs to clear a protocol of successive positive tests while remaining isolated? The tweet is not well worded.
Omicron is nuts. This is like when the pandemic first hit sports leagues. Haven’t seen this many positives in a long time.
While it’s hilarious to see Kyrie being activated and immediately entering COVID protocol, I do wish he could have waited until the playoffs.

You are correct that it’s nothing well worded but I assume that the team and Schefter would be very specific if it were the more benign explanation.
This take didn't even make it one full day.

I find it hard to believe that they can’t say someone is just following the standard protocol for a player who is re-entering the league. We’ve even been told this type of information before. That fact that no one is saying that (especially now that time has passed and people have been laughing at him) tells us what the answer is.

Now he has to go to the ends of the earth to try and find treatment.
With Durant also going into protocol, I assume this may be a contact tracing thing at this point.
Kyrie is the Exception to Every Rule.
He is literally the only person in professional sports whose contraction of Covd made me smile and laugh. If A-Rod was still active, I MIGHT have had the same reaction. But maybe not...Covid Sucks. Not as much as Kyrie, but it's not something to wish on others. Except this turd.
He is also the most talented player who will almost definitely make his team worse.
He is also an NBA Champion who is ultimately a major loser.
What a despicable, hateful human being he is. Watching him fuck things up somehow for the Nets will be enjoyable to see.

This adds to the hilarity
Only thing funnier would be Skip not being allowed into his brother's restaurants
Did Kyrie text positive or was his entering Covid protocol less than 24 hours after being activated a procedural move to provide the requirement for multiple days of negative tests? I wouldn’t imagine an unvaccinated player can simply be activated and allowed to practice/play on Day One without going through the protocol based on the NBA’s literature on protocol.
He’s Rick’s brother? Not sure there’s another set of sibling I have such disparate views of.
A lot can, and likely will, change from now to May with a Covid and these mandates. I wouldn’t rule him out of home playoff games just yet.
