How is Irving able to do this? There is no mention in Shams' tweet of vaccination, only testing. The NBA does not reveal vax status of the players. What was keeping Irving out was an NYC mandate. The NBA mandates testing, the only thing mentioned in the tweet but Irving can test negative till the cows come home, that isn't an exception the the city mandate. NYC didn't relax the mandate, did it? That would be fucking stupid with Omicron around. I don't get this.
