Kyrie against NBA Florida plan

MANILA, Philippines — Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving was among NBA players on a conference call who raised doubts about resuming the season as planned in a Florida quarantine, according to multiple reports.

ESPN and The Athletic, citing unnamed sources, reported that racial justice issues and the chance to impact the ongoing discussion were among the topics touched upon in the Friday night session of nearly 100 players.

Others were concerned with issues regarding the Orlando “bubble” and coronavirus safety measures in the wake of the pandemic that forced a shutdown to the campaign in March.

“I don’t support going into Orlando,” Irving said, according to The Athletic. “Something smells a little fishy.”
