People should not politen that. Those who have protested but did that. These are not basketball fans, they do not really care who stands in the field and who are not.

Tsai referred to science and talked about how it could continue with Irving. The Point Guard could sign an extension over four years and 187 million dollars in the summer, but that, according to Tsai, this is still in far away: I hope Kyrie can be part of the team in the long term, but I will not comment on extension, There is still the question in the room, whether he will play this season or not. I hope he will soon be vaccinated.
