Ted Cruz Invites Kyrie Irving to Move to Texas and Join Rockets if Brooklyn Won’t Let Him Play

U.S. Senator and longtime Houston sports fan Ted Cruz is again urging part-time Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving to join the Houston Rockets.

A perennial All-Star when fully available, Irving has yet to play in any home games this season due to New York City’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate for private sector employment. Houston does not have that rule, which allows unvaccinated players such as Irving to fully participate.
