Unvaccinated Warriors player could cost the team home-court advantage

Andrew Wiggins could cost the Golden State Warriors home-court advantage due to San Francisco's COVID rules for attending major events within the city.

People who are vaccine-eligible and remain unvaccinated will not be allowed to attend events at Chase Center that have more than 1,000 attendees, regardless of their reason for being unvaccinated or if they have recently tested negative for COVID-19, according to the San Francisco Department of Health. This mandate also applies to players, meaning Wiggins, who said back in March that he would not get vaccinated, could not enter the arena.

"I don’t really see myself getting it any time soon, unless I’m forced to," the Warriors forward said during a press conference in March about getting the vaccine.
