The NBA and the NBPA have agreed to a reduction in pay of 1/91.6th of a player's salary for each game an unvaccinated player misses because of local COVID-19 vaccine mandates, sources told ESPN.
Teams, however, will not receive any luxury tax relief for these reductions in player salary, sources said.
Currently, two cities - New York and San Francisco - have COVID-19 mandates that could impact players on the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors. In New York, to enter any gym - including Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center - individuals need proof of at least one COVID-19 shot; in San Francisco, individuals must be fully vaccinated.
