Just about everyone who has anything to do with the NBA will be vaccinated this season. Team staff including coaches, medical personnel, front office members and even arena security will all be vaccinated. So will the NBA’s referees.
The only folks who collectively won’t be are the NBA’s players.
At this point, 90 percent of the league’s players are reportedly vaccinated, according to a report from The Athletic’s Shams Charania. While, yes, that is a good number, it’s still not everyone.
We’re already seeing some pretty big names come up in speculation regarding their vaccination status. Kyrie Irving is reportedly not vaccinated yet. The same goes for Andrew Wiggins. And, if that 90 percent holds up, there are certainly more.
That right there is a massive problem for the NBA.
