‘Another nuisance’ Irving can’t play in Toronto next season… Canada bans entry of players who are not vaccinated against COVID-19

Kyrie Irving (Brooklyn Neez) will not play away against the Toronto Raptors in the 2022–2023 season.

The NBA has recently notified teams that players who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 will not be able to enter Canada.

Canada and the United States are not allowing entry of foreigners who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19.

It is highly unlikely that such a policy will change before the start of the NBA 2022–2023 season on October 19 (Korean time).

In that case, Irving would not be able to enter Canada.

It is known that 97% of NBA players are currently vaccinated against COVID-19.

All Toronto players have been vaccinated and there is no problem entering the United States.

Irving was unable to play at home for the entire season last season, but was able to play at home as New York City’s quarantine policy was relaxed at the end of the season.

Meanwhile 스포츠토토, Major League Baseball players who have not been vaccinated are also unable to play away to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Teams signing Brooklyn or Irving will face a penalty if they clash with Toronto in the playoffs, unless the Canadian government changes policy.
