NEW YORK — Welcome home, Kyrie.
The private-sector vaccine mandate that has benched Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving for home games all season will be lifted, sources said.
Mayor Eric Adams plans to lift the mandate in time for opening day at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, a move that will allow New York’s unvaccinated baseball players — superstar slugger Aaron Judge likely among them — to avoid missing home games like Irving did for not getting the shot.
