A few dozen demonstrators protested outside the Barclays Center before the Brooklyn Nets’ home opener Sunday over Kyrie Irving not being allowed to play because he’s refused to be vaccinated against Covid-19.

At one point, a small group broke through barriers and made it to the front entrance, leading arena officials to briefly close the doors as ticketed fans were trying to get in.

Under a New York City mandate, pro athletes on teams in the city must be vaccinated to play in public venues.
