An NBA spokesperson said that if players miss games because they can’t abide by vaccine mandates, they won’t get paid.
Players who are forced to miss games due to the executive orders governing vaccination requirements in both New York and San Francisco will not be paid for any games they miss. “Any player who elects not to comply with local vaccination mandates will not be paid for games that he misses,” Mike Bass, the NBA’s executive vice president of communications, said in a statement Wednesday morning. Both cities passed executive orders in recent weeks governing vaccine requirements that could impact the Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors.
