Shaq Says Nets Should Trade Kyrie Irving If He Doesn’t Get Vaccinated: “Get His Ass Out Of There”

While the NBA is not requiring its players to be vaccinated, local jurisdiction can require vaccination to enter an arena. These jurisdictions affect only three arenas and teams, the Golden State Warriors, the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets.

Kyrie Irving is one of the players who would be affected the most by these local jurisdictions, as it would force him to miss 44 of the 82 games. This would also result in him losing about $18,8 million of his salary. 

Shaquille O’Neal now spoke about the issue and said that the Nets would have to trade Kyrie Irving if he doesn’t get vaссinated. 

“I would go upstairs and say ‘get him up out of here. Get him outta here…

Whoever ownѕ the Brooklyn Nets, get him up outta here.”
