ANALYSIS: Zach Lowe of ESPN went on to report that while, "Kyrie Irving is not expected to attend Nets media day today due to New York City health and safety protocols, the Nets fully expect Irving to accompany the team to training camp in San Diego."

Irving was asked via Zoom of his vaccination status and if he expects to play in home games this year because of the local state guidelines in New York and had this to say, "Everything will be released at a due date once we get this cleared up. As of right now, please respect my privacy."
