Kyrie Irving is set to lose out on a notable amount from his contract with the Brooklyn Nets if he refuses to get his COVID-19 vaccine ahead of the 2021 NBA season
Kyrie Irving might be good at basketball but where he makes up for in sports, he severely lacks knowledge wise.
From claiming that the Earth is flat to leading a set of NBA players who are refusing to get vaccinated ahead of the 2021 season, Irving has managed to successfully show that he’s fried all his brain cells. Losing all semblance about him, Irving has managed to emerge as a searing headache for Brooklyn Nets with the player sticking with his stance of refusing the COVID-19 vaccination.

Given the gargantuan amount he’ll be letting stick for brazening his decision out, Irving might finally decide to get the vaccine shots after all. Andrew Wiggins had recently gone onto receive his vaccination in a bid to stave the threat of missing out on a large chunk of money from his contract.
Despite the benefits of the vaccination well documented, a slew of players have refused to get vaccinated ahead of the impending season. However, the NBA has clamped down on the antics of such names with the league refusing to grant these players any leeway on religious grounds.
Wonder how long Irving is going to think he’s going to be planted with a microchip if he gets vaccinated.
