Report: Star Players 'Hesitant' to Participate in COVID-19 PSA

Many top players across the NBA are hesitant to participate in "league-sponsored Public Service Announcements" regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The NBA has reached out to agents of numerous notable players across the league in recent weeks, per Wojnarowski. But the NBA's outreach has reportedly been met with "apprehension."

There is additional uncertainty from some players regarding taking the COVID-19 vaccine, per Wojnarowski. Players are also unlikely to help the NBA with its PSA as the All-Star Game is currently slated to be held despite player objections.
