Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving was not able to enter the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and missed the team’s media day amid the citywide mandate that forces anyone entering a sports venue to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

Irving, who appeared in a Zoom call on Monday, requested privacy when asked about his COVID-19 vaccination status. His other teammates appeared in person in the Barclays Center.
