This year, I had the privilege of covering Mavs Media for your favorite Dallas Mavericks site, Mavs Moneyball. Like most Media Days, this one was filled with a lot of interesting quotes, some funny blurbs, and a lot of safe talk. Unlike most years in recent memory, this one had a unique and constant theme: COVID-19 vaccination status.
We knew this would be a focal point ahead of time, because, well, it matters! We’re still in the middle of a pandemic, and just because we’re out of the Orlando Bubble, doesn’t mean COVID won’t play a role in the upcoming NBA season.
