Report: Andrew Wiggins Remains Unvaccinated, Putting Status in Question

Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins has so far decided against getting the COVID-19 vaccine, creating uncertainty if he will be available for home games by the start of the season, according to Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The NBA is not requiring players to be vaccinated, but if a local jurisdiction requires proof of vaccination to enter an arena, then a player would need an exemption of some kind. The city of San Francisco announced in late August it would required proof of vaccination for large indoor events.

New York City, home to the Knicks and Nets, has a similar vaccine requirement in place.
