Why is not playing home games:
So it just depends on when, where and how much.” Due to municipal public health guidelines in Brooklyn, Irving being unvaccinated bars him from entering spaces like arenas, making it impossible for him to play in the Nets’ 41 home games.
Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash confirmed on Sunday he is preparing for the reality that Kyrie Irving, as an unvaccinated player, will not be able to play in any of the team’s home games this season.
There had been optimism, according to earlier reporting by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, that Irving would get vaccinated and fulfill these local mandates. But, with the team unaware of his ultimate intentions regarding the vaccine, that hope was waning and the Nets were grappling with whether the team would accommodate Irving as a part-time player.

Return: Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving’s return to the court is up in the air.
The Nets lost James Harden to a hamstring injury earlier in the series, and now Brooklyn may be without Irving for some time, with the star guard out for at least Tuesday’s Game 5 and perhaps beyond.
In the second quarter of Sunday’s Game 4, Irving landed awkwardly on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s foot, and he would remain on the floor for the next possession. Irving would walk off gingerly, but under his own power after the injury.
