Any unvaccinated NBA player with temporary visa status who leaves the country will be unable to re-enter the United States, according to a memo obtained by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Tuesday.
For example, an unvaccinated player would be unable to re-enter the United States after playing in Canada. The same applies if a player travels outside the United States during All-Star Weekend.
The NBA informed teams on Tuesday that unvaccinated players will no longer be allowed to travel to Toronto to play games beginning on Jan. 15, according to the memo. Teams are instructed to distribute the memo to all players by Friday.
