Pacers guard Justin Holiday exits NBA's COVID-19 protocols, plans to remain unvaccinated

INDIANAPOLIS — After missing the Pacers' past five games due to the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Justin Holiday — who said he is and will remain unvaccinated — returned to practice Sunday.

Holiday entered the protocols Nov. 30. Per league rules, a player or coach with the virus must isolate for a minimum of 10 days or register two negative PCR tests at least 24 hours apart to come back sooner. Holiday spent the full time in isolation.
