“No one was expecting the mandate the way in which he wouldn’t be able to play. No one expected it,” a source close to Irving said. “The entire thing was that vaccination was absolutely going to be a choice and not anything that was forced.

“[Tsai] laid it out that you needed to be vaccinated or you can’t play,” a source close to the situation said. “A number of players did not want to get vaccinated. They all decided to get vaccinated except Kyrie. … The thinking was the players would all blink.”

More on this storyline
Unlike Irving, Wiggins did get vaccinated before the start of the NBA season. “I did it, and I was an All-Star this year and champion, so that was the good part, just not missing out on the year, the best year of my career,” Wiggins said. “But for my body, I just don’t like putting all that stuff in my body, so I didn’t like that and I didn’t like that it wasn’t my choice. I didn’t like that it was either get this or don’t play.” -via ESPN / July 19, 2022
“There was definitely pressure, especially being from Canada, just knowing the whole city is watching. The whole country is watching. The whole country wants you to do good. They’re calling you the next LeBron, stuff like that. Ain’t nobody gonna be the next LeBron. That’s one of one.” -via Lakers Daily / July 12, 2022
The Warriors have several young assets on paper, including Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman and Moses Moody, but Golden State would be reluctant to give up all these assets in a Durant trade proposal, HoopsHype has learned. Andrew Wiggins would be an attractive trade chip and is coming off an All-Star season, but he can’t be included in a Durant trade at the moment, as explained in-depth by our USA TODAY colleagues at For The Win. -via HoopsHype / July 12, 2022

Jeremy Sochan couldn’t wait to play in Summer League after the Spurs selected him ninth overall in the NBA draft last month. “Boom, I get COVID of nowhere,” he said Saturday. “No one else had it.” Sochan wasn’t in the NBA’s health and safety protocols for long, but the Spurs decided it wasn’t worth the risk of playing him in Las Vegas after he missed the summer squad’s workouts in San Antonio.
It was a decision Sochan said “made …
It was a decision Sochan said “made sense” to him. “I didn’t have any injuries, but COVID still affects you, affects your lungs,” Sochan said before the Spurs faced Memphis in their Summer League finale. “I didn’t practice, and I was out of shape…It made sense for me not to play here and I am always going to listen to the people in the organization.”
Sochan said the first couple of days …
Sochan said the first couple of days were “pretty bad” while he was in protocols. “I stayed in bed and slept a lot,” he said. “But after three days I was good.” Fully recovered, Sochan has stayed busy in Vegas working out in the weight room and on the court with the team’s athletic training staff. He’s also attended every practice and game, staying close to Spurs Summer League coach Mitch Johnson to learn as much of the playbook as possible.
