Kyrie Irving now has a decision to make: Get the COVID-19 vaccine, or sit games out without pay.
With COVID-19 vaccination mandates in New York City (and San Francisco), NBA spokesperson Mike Bass issued a statement on Wednesday: “Any player who elects not to comply with local vaccination mandates will not be paid for the games that he misses,” Bass wrote.
If Irving is unvaccinated, he would forfeit a huge chunk of his $34.9 million salary by missing the Nets’ 43 games in New York at the Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden. The Warriors’ Andrew Wiggins has said he is unvaccinated, and would lose out on millions of his $31.6 million in pay if he couldn’t play because of San Francisco’s vaccine mandate. (The exact amount of pay lost for the home games is still to be determined, according to ESPN.)
Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal and Magic forward Jonathan Isaac are among the other NBA players who have been outspoken about their decision not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

He plays under a contract. Have they changed the contract?
People are going to have to stick together.
If we let them divide us further, they’ll destroy all of us.
If I’m challenged to show I’ve been vaccinated, I’ll prove
it and leave. I’ll tell them why they’ll never get business
from me again too.
PAY a frikkin' lawyer to sue the NBA
The contract fine print will tell the story...
The NBA knows that they are in the Democrat plantation and nothing, NOTHING is more important than that - not even the folks who earn them the bucks. I hope that the players know who’s the slave - and who’s da boss. Say hello to your plantation master & mistress - Slow Joe and the HO.
“He plays under a contract. Have they changed the contract?”
No laws when it comes to deep state obeisance.
Anyhow, these players all pledged allegiance to ChiComs.
Far be it for me to tell any of these players to forfeit millions in a career that can end at any time due to injuries. But it would be interesting to watch at least one player try, and then have their home city rescind their vaccine ordinance during the middle of the NBA season.
One thing is for sure—going forward any high value person is going to have to insist that the Nuremberg Code be an addendum to their contract.
PRAY, they do not alter it any further.
What does their contract say? Is Covid Vaccine spelled out? If not, sue them
A new term to remember: “Vaccinazification”. Using an illusory threat of a disease to impose fascist controls over others.
Apparently no one pays attention any more. Until it gets to court.
The NBA may actually be doing this because they want to be sued by the players. The league would then file a third-party claim against the cities to get the stupid vaccine mandates overturned.
I can't believe any team would push this matter with a player. Kyrie Irving has been so brittle and injury-prone that he'd save himself a lot of trouble by playing one game on the road before missing the rest of the season with a fake injury. Then he'd get paid his full salary without ever having to show up in New York City at all.
Oh come on man
Go get vaxxed. So what if ADE kills a bunch of them, they will have helped the DimWITS get vaxx passports and social scores implemented.
NBA, NFL MLB all need a lesson in patriotism. Until they can arrange to be thankful to the country that made their millionaire lives possible...f’em.
Vaxnazification is easier to say.
Oppression is oppression.
Time to take a stand. When you’re standing in front of St. Peter those millions of fiat currency won’t mean a damn thing.
Breach of contract requires a lawyer.
