Golden State Warriors' Andrew Wiggins — one of the NBA players in danger of missing home games (and pay checks) due to local vaccination requirements — is now vaccinated, coach Steve Kerr revealed Sunday
vaccine during the Nets’ media day Monday, asking reporters to “Please respect my privacy.” Nets’ teammate Kevin Durant also downplayed the situation, telling reporters, “I expect it not to be an issue. We trust in Kyrie and I expect us to have our whole team at some point.”
Wiggins previously attempted to sidestep San Francisco’s vaccine requirement via a religious exemption, but the NBA denied that request.reported this weekend, the NBA players association shot down the league’s attempts to mandate that all players get vaccinated, with the union calling the proposal a “non-starter.
Even before the NBA’s announcement Wednesday, Irving’s aunt Tyki hinted to Rolling Stone that, if forced to get the vaccine, Kyrie might refuse to play in Brooklyn. “He is going to try to figure that out as it comes, because it’s not religious-based, it’s moral-based,” she said. “You may have to sit on the sideline, you might not have to be in the arena during this.
As of last week, the NBA estimated that 90-percent of its approximately 450-player league has been vaccinated; during media day, teams like the New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers touted that their franchises’ players were 100-percent vaccinated. “The NBA should insist that all players and staff are vaccinated or remove them from the team,” NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told “There is no room for players who are willing to risk the health and lives of their teammates, the staff and the fans simply because they are unable to grasp the seriousness of the situation or do the necessary research. What I find especially disingenuous about the vaccine deniers is their arrogance at disbelieving immunology and other medical experts.
