- Irving scores 22 in first game of season as Nets beat Pacers
- Star guard to only play road games due to vaccination status
Kyrie Irving was just the jolt the Brooklyn Nets needed to escape a midseason slump.
He can only provide it on a part-time basis, as his refusal to get vaccinated against the coronavirus means he can’t play in New York. So for now, Irving will enjoy every chance he gets on the road – while still holding out hope he’ll be able to put on a show for his own fans.
