Andrew Wiggins doesn’t want to receive the covid-19 vaccine.
The Warriors are concerned but he may apply to a religious exemption.
Per SF Chronicle, The city of San Francisco requires full vaccination to be allowed indoors for entertainment.
Sources believe the NBA will grant Wiggins a religious exemption.
The San Francisco Department of Public Health said it would not comment on Wiggins’ specific situation unless he is granted a religious exemption from the NBA.
"We are actively addressing the matter of requests for religious exemption from vaccinations across many industries and will work with our business and entertainment community on next steps," the San Francisco Department of Public Health said in a statement. "We will provide further clarification on this topic."
Wiggins would forfeit more than $350,000 for each game he is forced to miss.
The Warriors recently connected Wiggins with an Oakland doctor who understands issues surrounding vaccine hesitancy. Wiggins remains unmoved in his decision against vaccination.
