Eric: Kyrie & Nets will work it out

Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams told The Post on Saturday that he was “extremely optimistic” that Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving would suit up soon, despite the guard’s refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
“I think this is going to work itself out,” said Adams, the Brooklyn borough president. “I believe we’re going to find a way to have safety, and to continue to keep our standards strong.”
The Nets announced on Tuesday that they were barring Irving from games and practices until he honors the city’s vaccine mandate.
The NBA has no mandate for players but requires them to honor local laws.
The city’s mandate bars unvaccinated people from many indoor establishments, including the Nets’ home at Barclays Center.
