Welcome to the MBA Daily Ding here on the Athletic MBA Podcast.

I'm Jared Weiss and now we are talking to the Athletics Brooklyn Net Reporter, Alex

Schiffer, who just got back from Sean Marks press conference.

It turns out Kyrie Irving is not on the nets right now.

He's kind of on the nets as Sean said, he's on the team but not with the current members

of the team.

So take that for what you will.

So he's on the former team.

He's on the 20, he's still on the 2021 nets is what he's saying.

He's on the bubble nets, even though he wasn't even with them down there.

So what the hell is going on?

Yeah, a great way to word your question by the way.

That's how I word every Kyrie question, but that's what I'm particular.

So Sean Marks said to us today, over Zoom, that Kyrie will not, well, first they released

a statement, he talked an hour later, that Kyrie will not be practicing or playing with

the team until he is fully eligible, which essentially means fully vaccinated.

And now the nets move on, I mean, they have a preseason finale against the Timberwolves

at home on Thursday, then they open up against a defending champ and some Milwaukee Tuesday.

And yeah, I mean, this kind of puts the kibosh on any chance of Kyrie Irving being a part

time player for the net this season.

And I think it's also fair to question what it means for his, his long term future with

the organization.
