Kyrie Irving (l.)
Kyrie Irving threatens to miss many of his Brooklyn Nets games and lose millions of dollars in salary.
Excitement in the NBA! Kyrie Irving refuses the corona vaccination. In preparation for the coming season, he is missing his Brooklyn Nets.
Because of the strict Corona rules in New York, he is not allowed to be part of his team's game or training session.
Coach Steve Nash supports his star: “We support him. We are there for him. Things change. If there is a solution, we are there for him.”
Irving is a major loss for the Nets. He's a seven-time all-star. With the USA he was named Olympic and world champion. But the forced break is extremely painful for him too.
Not just because he can't live out his passion for basketball. Irving has to forego around $ 380,000 of his salary per home game of the Nets. That is the equivalent of around 328,000 euros.
