Members of the Los Angeles Lakers organization are expected to receive a vaccine for COVID-19 this week, sources told ESPN.
It was not clear which players or staffers were planning to receive the vaccine as HIPAA regulations preclude anyone from the team commenting on the situation.
The New Orleans Pelicans, Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trail Blazers have previously acknowledged receiving the vaccine.
The NBA has not required players or staffers to be vaccinated, but has encouraged them to do so once they are eligible and indicated it will relax health and safety protocols for those who are vaccinated.
