NBA denies Warriors’ Wiggins vaccination exemption request.

GREENBURGH, N.Y.» The NBA has denied Andrew Wiggins’ request for a vaccination exemption for religious reasons, leaving the Golden State Warriors swingman ineligible to play home games until he meets San Francisco’s vaccination requirement.

The ruling was announced Friday hours after the New York Knicks said their entire roster is vaccinated, making all their players eligible to play in their home games.

Because of local coronavirus regulations in New York and San Francisco, the Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Warriors are required to be vaccinated to play in their home arenas unless exemptions for medical or religious reasons apply.
