Report: 95% of NBA players now vaccinated against COVID-19

With NBA training camps in full swing and the start of the 2021-22 regular season less than three weeks away, 95% of NBA players have received at least their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

It was reported last week that 90% of players were fully vaccinated.

Currently, only San Francisco, home of the Golden State Warriors, and New York, from which both the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets hail, have local public health restrictions that would prevent unvaccinated players from participating in home games.

Of the three teams, only the Knicks have publicly confirmed that all of their players are fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, the Nets' Kyrie Irving and the Warriors' Andrew Wiggins appear set to test the NBA's edict that unvaccinated players won't be paid for missed games.

The Warriors are set to host a preseason game at Chase Center on Oct. 6, with the Nets taking the court at Barclays Center on Oct. 8.

Other NBA players - including Washington Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal, Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., and Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac - have recently confirmed that they remain unvaccinated. Under current rules, none would be barred from playing in San Francisco or New York due to their status as visiting players.

Still, with each of the NBA's 30 teams able to bring a maximum of 20 players into training camp, the current vaccination rate translates to approximately 570 out of 600 players who are inoculated. All teams must be reduced to no more than 15 main roster NBAers and a pair of two-way players by Oct. 19.
