The rules to fight the pandemic continue to affect the NBA in the United States. Up to now, San Francisco and New York City They were the two cities with the most doubtful legislation, preventing, for example, Kyrie Irving or Andrew Wiggins from playing home games without getting vaccinated.
Now, The Angels has taken the baton. The city of Los Angeles has voted to impose a the most restrictive vaccination mandate. Few cities have been shielded in this way and it could be that it fully affected the NBA franchises.
A priori, both Lakers and Clippers have their entire squad vaccinated. However, the regulations could act against visiting teams. This would make any player who has a game in LA have to be vaccinated or expose yourself to missing it, as well as your salary.
The regulations are clear: it requires that anyone who wants to enter a local, restaurant, gym or sporting event (such as Lakers and Clippers games), must demonstrate the complete vaccination schedule.
We will see how these measures affect the beginning and development of the season. Players like Wiggins have ended up giving in but others like Irving It seems that they will fight to the end. What cannot be avoided is the start of the course in 12 days.
