Impact Mere minutes after ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Jeff Passan published a report indicating that this news could be coming, Charania came over the top with the confirmation that Irving will be cleared to play in home games as of Thursday. This puts an end to a season-long saga that's relegated Irving to part-time status since he rejoined the Nets in January. While the vaccine debate essentially wiped out most of Irving's fantasy season, he'll be able to play in all 10 of the Nets' remaining regular-season contests. The bigger development, of course, is that he'll be available in full capacity for the postseason.

Report: NYC's Vaccine Mandate Expected to End, Allowing Kyrie Irving to Return for Nets' Home Games Kyrie Irving may soon be permitted to play in Brooklyn Nets home games with New York City’s vaccine mandate expected to come to an end

Could be playing in home games soon There is "increasing hope" that New York City will roll back its vaccine mandate in the near future, which would enable Irving to play in Nets home games, according to a report fro...
Impact Passan and Wojnarowski relay that New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been working on a plan that would likely include repealing the private-sector vaccine mandates that currently prevent Irving from playing games in the city. While there's no firm timetable -- and no guarantee from Adams' office -- the report notes that "sources believe a plan is progressing that could have Irving on the court as soon as next week." It's no coincidence that this development comes as the start of the MLB season nears. With several New York Yankees and New York Mets players set to be impacted, there appears to be increased pressure to adjust the mandate. As of now, Irving is still ineligible to play in home games, but it looks as though there's a good chance that will change before the start of the postseason.

Will go through warmups Wednesday Nets head coach Steve Nash said Dragic (knee) will be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Dragic is officially listed as doubtful, so it's surprising to hear that he'll have a shot at playing Wednesday. Nash also said Seth Curry (ankle) will be a game-time decision, so if both guards are sidelined, Cam Thomas and Patty Mills would likely be the primary beneficiaries.
