Players Who Haven’t Gotten Their Shots On Warriors, Knicks, & Nets Won’t Be Allowed To Play In Home Games

NBA players who haven’t gotten vaccinated will face a daunting task this upcoming season that will greatly affect their team in the standings.

NBA players in markets with local vaccination requirements will not be allowed to enter home arenas or facilities for games or team activities conducted there unless there’s a medical or religious exemption.

Sources: Unvaccinated NBA players in markets with local requirements — such as NYC (Knicks, Nets) and SF (Warriors) — will not be allowed to enter home arenas or facilities for games or team activities conducted there unless there’s approved medical or religious exemption.

San Francisco and New York City currently have such requirements, which means unvaccinated players on the Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks will not be allowed to play in home games or practice in their home market.

This follows local governmental policies, meaning unvaccinated players on the Nets, Knicks and Warriors are not allowed to play in home games. Visiting players are exempt from the vaccination requirements in NYC and SF. https://t.co/fPePW722Og
