Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving on Monday reasserted that he won’t reconsider taking the COVID-19 vaccine despite his teammate Kevin Durant’s knee injury that is expected to sideline him for weeks.

Although getting vaccinated would make the seven-time All-Star point guard eligible to play in all Brooklyn Nets’ games, Irving said he won’t be swayed, as his teammate is potentially set to be sidelined for six weeks.
