16:21Now PlayingThe Brooklyn Nets have barred Kyrie Irving from all team activities in response to his unwillingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine, and they will also not be extending his contract.
The point guard took to Instagram Live Wednesday night, saying his decision is about being true to what feels good to him and he’s “still uncertain” about a lot of questions surrounding the vaccine. The NBA, on the other hand, is abiding by New York’s mandate that all employees have to be vaccinated unless they have an exemption.
Former NBA player and author Etan Thomas, and sports commentator Amin Elhassan join “Black News Tonight” host Marc Lamont Hill to discuss the aftermath of Irving’s vaccination decision.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
