The Golden State Warriors are reportedly operating under the "belief" forward Andrew Wiggins will receive a COVID-19 vaccine before the start of the 2021-22 NBA season.
Anthony Slater reported Tuesday on The Athletic NBA Show podcast the Warriors don't think Wiggins is willing to forfeit half his $31.6 million salary, which would be the likely result of sitting out all of the team's home games after the NBA denied his petition for a religious exemption regarding the vaccine.
"He'll probably get it. If he doesn't, I think they'll readjust then, but I think they'd have time to do so," Slater said.
