NBA will not have vaccine mandate for 22-23 season


The NBA won't have a vaccine mandate in place for the upcoming 2022-23 season, according to a league memo obtained by Yahoo Sports' Vincent Goodwill.

The league will, however, strongly suggest all personnel be fully vaccinated and could potentially test unvaccinated players on occasion, Goodwill adds.

There was no league-wide vaccine mandate for players last season, but COVID-19 shots were required for all team personnel who worked within 15 feet of players or referees during games. That group included coaches, front-office members, and trainers.
