Nets Owner Joseph Tsai On Brining Back Kyrie Irving: “I’m Doing This To Help The Brooklyn Nets Win A Championship”
After being ruled as ineligible, Kyrie Irving is finally processing his return for the Brooklyn Nets this season. The team decided that the 29-year old point guard will only be back for road games as he still hasn’t complied with New York’s vaccine mandates.
The team’s decision to bring back Irving did not develop without causing a stir. Many fans and basketball pundits have lobbied criticism as they believe that bringing back an unvaccinated player doesn’t help in dealing with the league’s COVID-19 problem.
The Nets are apparently aware of the situation, but Nets owner Joseph Tsai has made it known that he’s only doing this to help the Nets win games and win the championship.
Per New York Post:
“So I think a lot of people that are either pro-vax or anti-vax people are mad at me for taking one stance or the other. But I have said from the very beginning I’m not taking this as a political thing,” Tsai told The Post. “I’m doing this to help the Brooklyn Nets win a championship. That’s the thinking.”
