NBA Twitter reacts as Warriors’ forward Andrew Wiggins finds himself in a difficult situation, NBA denies his vaccine exemption request

The Golden State Warriors and Andrew Wiggins are in a tough spot. According to the city of San Fransisco, in order to be in attendance in a large crowd, one needs to be vaccinated. This order comes in place from 13th October, 6 days before the start of the 2021-22 regular season. The NBA hasn’t made it mandatory for its players to get vaccinated. However, this mandate means all Warriors’ players have to be vaccinated in order to play home games.
