Unvaccinated NBA players and team personnel must submit to weekly COVID-19 testing this season, the league told its clubs in a memo Tuesday, according to the AP. For the Nets the policy would apply to at least Kyrie Irving. There’s no indication that any of the new Nets have declined to get the COVID vaccine.
Meanwhile, Canadian immigration policy continues to require anyone wanting to enter the country be fully vaccinated. The Nets play the Raptors in Toronto on November 23 and December 16.
There will be certain exceptions to that NBA mandate, the league said, according to AP, such as if an unvaccinated player is “recently recovered” from COVID-19.
