The NBA cannot force players to get vaccinated — any such mandate would require agreement between the league and the Players Association. But the league has flexed its muscle in another fashion, taking aim at the vaccine resisters’ bank accounts.
Messages sent to the NBPA and executive director Michele Roberts were not returned. But NBA owners and GM's are taking a wait and see approach to the looming conflict.
During the same media session Wiggins, 26, bristled after fielding numerous questions about his decision to refuse the vaccine, opting for an age-old tactic of blaming the media. “I'm a fan of Kyrie,” de Blasio said in a CNN interview. “I would just appeal to him, get vaccinated. Your fans want to see you. We all want you back. Your teammates want you back.”that the league “should insist that all players and staff are vaccinated or remove them from the team.”
“The vaccination has been very successful in America, and around the world. I don’t know why it’s got to be a controversial situation. But it turned out to be that. And that’s unfortunate,” Reed added. “Vaccination is the key thing that everyone should do.” Dr. Scott Braunstein, the medical director for Sollis Health Los Angeles, and who has been on the front lines throughout the pandemic, said he was concerned why players like Irving would still be resistant to getting vaccinated at this stage, when the U.S. coronavirus death count is nearing 700,000.
