Still, forward Jonathan Isaac has not been vaccinated against the pandemic-causing virus. Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman says that’s Isaac’s prerogative.
“We’re in a very good place regarding the vaccines as a team ... and the league balances all this stuff,” Weltman said. “So Jonathan, if he is going to be an unvaccinated player, will have a more stringent set of protocols as prescribed by the league.
The NBA has not mandated vaccination for players, but those who are not vaccinated will be tested quite frequently this season.
