Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green said it is not his place to convince team mate Andrew Wiggins to take a COVID-19 shot and described the debate surrounding vaccinated and unvaccinated players as a “political war”.
Reports in the U.S. media said 95% of players in the league have had at least one shot. Unvaccinated players must comply with a lengthy list of restrictions to play this season.
The NBA last month denied Wiggins’ request for a religious exemption from the vaccine.
Green said he was not in a position to speak to Wiggins about the shot and that it was a personal issue for him and his family.
