’ request for a religious exemption to vaccination. That means he may not be able to practice or play in his team’s home games this year unless he meets San Francisco’s strict requirements for inoculation at indoor events.
San Francisco requires anyone age 12 and over attending an indoor event with more than 1,000 people to provide proof of vaccination, or proof of a medical or religious exemption. That includes NBA games at Chase Center, home of the Warriors. Similar rules are in force in New York and Los Angeles. Brooklyn Nets star guard Kyrie Irving is said to be among the players declining the vaxx. It is unclear if any of the Los Angeles Clippers or Lakers are unvaxxed.The league’s players association has claimed a 90% rate of vaccination among its players, leaving a healthy number of participants without jabs.
Wiggins, age 26 and a former league No. 1 draft pick, said in March that he was not planning on getting vaccinated. “To each his own, really. Whoever wants to get it, can get it; whoever doesn’t want to get it, don’t get it,” Wiggins said on March 22. “Right now, I’m not getting it, but it’s no knock on anyone else that’s getting it. I make my own decisions. But right now, I decided not to get it.”Negotiations are ongoing between the league and players association on Covid-19 protocols. The players association is holding firm that its players not be required to be vaxxed.and keep your inbox happy.

Brown's indictment comes as the federal prosecutors on the case are scrutinizing other troopers who punched, stunned and dragged another Black motorist, Ronald Greene, before he died in their custody on a rural roadside.
