Kyrie Irving Explains Decision, Adds He's Not Considering Retirement

Kyrie Irving attempted to explain his decision over Instagram Live not to get vaccinated and therefore be ineligible to play in home games for the Brooklyn Nets, which led to a decision by the franchise to not let him play at all.

"The financial consequences, I know I do not want to even do that," Irving said. "But it is reality that in order to be in New York City, in order to be on a team, I have to be vaccinated. I chose to be unvaccinated, and that was my choice, and I would ask you all to just respect that choice.

"I am going to just continue to stay in shape, be ready to play, be ready to rock out with my teammates and just be part of this whole thing. This is not a political thing; this is not about the NBA, not about any organization. This is about my life and what I am choosing to do."

Irving made it clear that he is not upset with the Nets organization, his teammates or the NBA, and he said he was not trying to make a political statement.

Irving ended his talk on Instagram Live by saying he is not going to end his career like this.

"Nobody is hijacking this voice," Irving said. "See if they play this on their TV channels and if they play this actual truth somewhere before you start talking about me and what I am doing with my life. And no, I am not retiring. And no, I am not going and leaving this game like this. There is still so much more work to do."
