The New York Daily News reports:
The private-sector vaccine mandate that has benched Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving for home games — and would have kept Aaron Judge and other key members of the Yankees and Mets from taking the field in New York City — will be lifted, sources said.

Adams, a diehard Mets fan, is set to announce the vaccine mandate exemption at CitiField — and it will take effect immediately, per source.
That should mean Kyrie Irving can play 7 regular season games in NYC (6 at Barclays, 1 at MSG).
