NBA sets vaccine and testing protocols for upcoming season
Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty ImagesIt’s hard to believe, but we’re only a month away from the third NBA season that will be played, at least in part, during the coronavirus pandemic. I can’t decide if it seems like just yesterday or 25 years ago that the Golden State Warriors were going forward with a March 2020 game, against the desires of the city of San Francisco.
And then just like that, the season — and world — were put on pause.
It never resumed for the Warriors, who were stuck on 15 wins and not invited to the restart bubble in Florida. The 2020-21 season was more normal, but still very clearly impacted, with no fans for much of the season, and limited fans for the rest of it.
