One day after the Brooklyn Nets said Kyrie Irving wouldn’t be allowed to play with the team until he’s vaccinated against Covid-19, Irving said in an Instagram Live Wednesday night that his decision is “about being true to what feels good for me.” 

Irving said he’s neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine and his decision isn’t political, but said, “This is about my life and what I am choosing to do.”

He said he understands the ramifications of his decision, and that he still hopes to return and play for the Nets, stating, “And no, I am not retiring. And no, I am not going and leaving this game like this.”
