NBA players will not be mandated to get vaccinated against COVID-19, league sources tell ESPN.

The NBA and NBPA continue to negotiate aspects of COVID-related protocols and procedures for the upcoming 2021-22 campaign, but the NBPA has refused to budge on its demand that players not be required to take the vaccine, sources say, and any proposal that mandates vaccination remains a "non-starter."

The article doesn't mention but it's probably because of Lebron.

Don’t they count as employees?

There are over 100 players.

I guess rules only apply to the lesser beings.

Professional ports are no longer professional sports.

It's all far-left propaganda. Even the NHL has been ruined with their g4y day and rainbow hockey sticks.

Anyone still watcing professional sports hates America.

Hell, there is probably over 100 employees on each team. Still, your point is totally legit.

Bunch of ignorant trump supporters. I’m sure the media will roast them for this anti science stance.

Hopefully OSHA shuts them down if any of these franchises employ more than 100 people

Look at what happened with the Saints today, 9 vaccinated members of the team tested positive today but they're likely to be at the game this coming Sunday because... They're vaccinated. Cause the vaccine is so well proven at preventing spreading and all.

Probably wouldn’t be a good look when NBA stars start dropping like flies on the court on live TV

You are probably right.

NBA Player’s Association has the bargaining rights to block any such change in working agreements. And LeBron, along with the rest of the Banana Boat crew like Chris Paul, are all in positions of power.

“Roughly 85% of players are vaccinated, a league spokesman recently said, and, in a preliminary memo obtained by ESPN in early September, the league outlined a set of strict protocols for unvaccinated players.

Such protocols include having lockers far from vaccinated teammates and having to eat, fly and ride buses in different sections”

Makes a lot of sense maybe they can play on a different court also.
