NBA Player Denied Religious Exemption for COVID Vaccine

The NBA has denied Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins’ request for a religious exemption from San Francisco’s coronavirus vaccine mandate, meaning that he will be ineligible to play home games unless he gets the shot.

“The NBA has reviewed and denied Andrew Wiggins’ request for a religious exemption from the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s order requiring COVID-19 vaccination for all participants age 12 and older at large indoor events,” the NBA said in a statement Friday. “Wiggins will not be able to play in Warrior home games until he fulfills the city’s vaccination requirements.”

The San Francisco Department of Public Health said Friday that everyone at least 12-years-old, including Warriors players, must be vaccinated if they wish to even enter the Chase Center and does not allow for medical or religious exemptions. A negative COVID test also will not be accepted in place of proof of vaccination.

“At large and mega indoor events, all patrons 12 and older must be vaccinated at this time,” the department said in a statement to SFGate. (Read more from “NBA Player Denied Religious Exemption for COVID Vaccine” HERE)
