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."
