Justin Holiday yet to be vaccinated, could affect trade interest

Per James Boyd of the Indianapolis Star, Justin Holiday has no plans to get vaccinated despite missing five games in the league's health and safety protocols. "Right now I don't," Holiday said. "I don't see how me getting [COVID-19] changes that."

Holiday is one of the many players the Pacers are believed to be shopping in trade, but his vaccination status could make a team (such as the Los Angeles Lakers) less inclined to make an offer.

ANALYSIS: Holiday is in his third season with the Pacers. The 32-year-old is averaging 11.0 points per game this season while shooting 37.2% on three-pointers for Indiana, which has struggled to a 4-14 record since Christmas. Pincus writes, "One league source on a top-10 team guessed that Holiday might get vaccinated if he had a chance to join a contender. But a source close to Holiday acknowledged that vaccination status could be an impediment."
