Kyrie Irving: NBA star the latest to withhold vaccination status
CNN
While Brooklyn Nets star guard Kyrie Irving told reporters on Monday he's looking forward to playing in front of fans this NBA season, the seven-time All-Star might not get the chance to see his ambition through.
Speaking during the league's media day, Irving refused to disclose his vaccination status, saying he "would like to keep all that private."
Earlier this month, the NBA warned that vaccine mandates set by New York City and San Francisco could prohibit players of the Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors from competing in home games this season if they are not vaccinated or exempted.
President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.
