Adam Silver questions mandate keeping Kyrie Irving out of home games
Adam Silver said he finds the NYC vaccine mandate keeping Kyrie Irving out of home games odd and could see mayor Eric Adams changing it.
“It just doesn't quite make sense to me that an away player who is unvaccinated can play in Barclays but the home player can't," Silver said.

ANALYSIS: While Irving can still play in away games and practices, he will be held out of the Nets' next several games, including against the Knicks tonight.
