Houston Rockets are 100 percent vaccinated as a team

A couple days after Rolling Stone reported on a group of NBA players who could be forced to sit out games in certain arenas because they refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine, Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said on Monday that the Rockets players are 100 percent vaccinated.

According to Rolling Stone's report, about 50 to 60 players have yet to receive a single dose of the vaccine as training camps open around the league this week.

That's going to be a problem when those teams play in New York and San Francisco, two cities that plan to require professional athletes to show proof of at least one COVID-19 vaccination to play indoors, unless there's an approved medical or religious exemption provided.
