Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant admitted that teammate Kyrie Irving is "frustrated" at still not being allowed to play home games for the team.

New York City mayor Eric Adams recently removed restrictions requiring proof of Covid-19 vaccination to enter establishments including bars, restaurants and sports arenas, but the mandate for private sector employees remains in place which means that the unvaccinated player is only able to attend home games as a spectator.
