The first signs that the NBA may have a vaccine problem on its hands have emerged after one of the league’s biggest stars, the Brooklyn Nets’ Kyrie Irving, did not attend his team’s media day.

Irving’s exact vaccination status is unconfirmed but according to Rolling Stone he has liked social media posts that suggest shadowy cabals are “implanting vaccines in a plot to connect Black people to a master computer for ‘a plan of Satan.’” New York City laws state that anyone entering a sports arena or other “indoor gyms and fitness settings” must show proof of at least one Covid-19 shot.
