"Wiggins will not be able to play in Warriors home games until he fulfils the city's vaccination requirements." The one exception: The players themselves, with the National Basketball Players Association rebuking all efforts from the NBA to mandate that they be vaccinated. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau credited the Knicks' medical staff for keeping the organisation educated and aware about virus protocols.
