SAN FRANCISCO — The boos for Kyrie Irving reverberated from the walls in the jam-packed Chase Center 10 miles away to Oracle Arena, where the Golden State Warriors last played in 2019.
Those boos — the loudest Irving has received as a Net since his return to Boston in last year’s playoffs — could be heard across the country in Cleveland, and they could certainly be heard by Nets fans watching on TV in Brooklyn.
Warriors fans didn’t boo Irving because of his decision not to get vaccinated, even though San Francisco’s City Supervisor publicly condemned the Nets star’s eligibility to play at the Warriors’ home arena without getting the shot to prevent COVID-19.
