An official statement regarding LeBron James and why he wasn’t suspended has NBA fans debating about his vaccination status

LeBron James attended an outdoor launch party with celebrities like Drake and Michael B. Jordan. This has left the league in splits. LeBron attended this event a day before the play-in game against the Golden State Warriors. The league sent him an official notice a day or two after the same match. However, despite the King violating the NBA COVID policy, he still was issued no punishment or faced any backlash. The NBA released an official statement, which tries to explain why the same hasn’t happened.

This statement is rather not very clear and leaves a lot to wonder about. The main point, whether LeBron James got vaccinated or did he not?!
NBA fans debate about LeBron James and his vaccination status
Chris Haynes, who initially released the NBA statement, has his own takes about the topic. According to him, this statement makes it clear that LeBron has gotten vaccinated.
Being around LeBron James for years, he’s always been private about his medical and never been one to endanger his family or teammates. This statements puts one thing to rest: he’s been vaccinated. https://t.co/Afiwc65fLh

However, not everyone derives the same interpretation. Under Haynes’ own post, there has been a debate of sorts. A lot of people do not agree with what Haynes believed.
Sorry, where in that statement does it put that to rest?

The thing literally says “numerous similar violations…” if he was vaccinated, there would be no “violation”, as the last line of fact states.

Huh? It identifies his event as a “violation.” Which, per the rule at the end of the statement, would seem to mean he has not been vaccinated.

Chris, love the quality of your work but you’re wrong on this. The statement in fact confirms Lebron has *not* been vaccinated. If he was, they wouldn’t have needed to assess whether he posed a risk. The last paragraph on the statement is just a summary of NBA rules.

In the end, there was no clear conclusion about whether LeBron James has been vaccinated or not. His vaccination status still remains a mystery.
