In reading through the NBA's Health and Safety Protocols, it is clear that unvaccinated players are going to be living under basically the exact same rules as last year, including daily testing. Vaccinated players, meanwhile, will have far more freedom to live their lives
Unvaccinated players will also be:
- separated from vaccinated players in the locker room
- prohibited from dining indoors with vaccinated players
- not allowed in the weight room w/vaccinated players
- required to remain at their hotel on the road (with limited exceptions)
“Any player who elects not to comply with local vaccination mandates will not be paid for games that he misses,” NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said in a statement to reporters.
