ANALYSIS: Charania also reports, "If all players on a team are fully vaccinated, NBA and NBPA anticipate there would be no restrictions on those players‘ away-from-work activities (such as accessing indoor bars, clubs, lounges), sources said." As the season looms closer, these guidelines should be made more clear by the league.
