On Friday, we heard that a growing number of NBA players is upset about the idea of quarantining for months in Disney in order to get the season re-started. For various reasons, ranging from desire for social justice, to fears about the Coronavirus, players are upset they didn’t get a chance to have all their voices heard.
And now we hear that former Celtics guard Kyrie Irving is among those who doesn’t want to play:
Howard, I’m told, is correct on Kyrie Irving being “a driving force,” as he put it.
Separately, I can say there are prominent players who believe that Disney – and all those viewer eyeballs – provide an enormous stage on which to make statements to demand societal change. https://t.co/SvjBx50NLp

It makes sense that Irving wouldn’t want to play, as his Nets aren’t in championship position and since he’s out with a shoulder injury and was supposed to miss the whole year.
