Wiggins is set to make more than $31 million this season, but he could lose half his salary if he misses all of the Warriors’ home games.
The San Francisco Department of Public Health released a statement on Friday:
At large and mega indoor events, all patrons 12 and older must be vaccinated at this time. Under the current order, if unvaccinated, they cannot enter indoor areas regardless of the reason they are unvaccinated and cannot test out of this requirement even if they have a medical or religious exemption. This same rule applies to performers and players employed by the host at large and mega indoor events who are covered by the vaccination requirements of the Health Order.
Players from two other NBA franchises also face “get the vaccine or get benched” propositions: the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. New York City has a rigid coronavirus vaccination mandate that requires vaccinations for everyone entering indoor public spaces, including NBA players and coaches.
