Nets star Kevin Durant was not quiet about his thoughts on New York City’s private-sector coronavirus vaccine mandate.
“I don’t get it,” Durant said after scoring 53 points without Kyrie Irving, en route to the Nets’ 110-107 win over the Knicks on Sunday. “At this point now, it feels like somebody’s trying to make a statement or a point to flex their authority, but everybody out here is looking for attention, and that’s what I feel the mayor wants right now is some attention.”
The City’s private-sector vaccine mandate, set by former Mayor Bill de Blasio and carried on by Adams, and Irving’s unvaccinated status are what have restricted Durant’s teammate from playing at Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden this season.
