NFL is ending mandatory COVID-19 testing for asymptomatic vaccinated players. Expect the NBA to follow suit.

The NBA right now borders on unwatchable with so many players out. If they don't follow what the NFL is doing I rather they just shut it down.

Keep Pumping that mass hysteria 24/7 Ford and comrade Trudeau ... lots seem to have drank the Jim Jones coolaide and will believe anything now, lol .... rights and freedoms out the window under communist politicians ..

I think you will find the American constitution is rather mute on the question of contagion. The founding fathers were fearful of the Plague, and rightly so.

Sure, can’t have lockdowns forever though.

How long until NBA games are back to no crowds?

Starting to look like The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie meets The Seventh Seal. Why can’t we have our dinner party in the middle of the Plague? Forget chess, we’ll challenge Death in a game of horse.

NBAPA is the reason this is still ongoing...Players want what the NFL is doing.

With Trae gone the Christmas slate is almost wiped. Luka's injuries already dent the last game despite Utah's avoidance of COVID. Now the 1st 4 games, especially the 3 games in the most watchable time slots are hampered by this disease.

People keep saying the NBA is keeping players out to stop transmission....Where is the data on that? All the NBA is doing is infecting everybody because players aren't testing positive the night of the game. So in reality, the NBA policy is helping nobody. It isn't helping players avoid getting covid and it is keeping everybody out of these games.

Please somebody tell me the upside of their policy.

Just to add something, what players from the 76ers haven't gotten covid? What players from the Cavaliers haven't gotten covid? What about the Lakers? Like seriously this policy isn't stopping anything. It's absolutely pointless. Guys are getting it no matter if they sit guys out of not. The testing isn't keeping these guys safe because inevitably they are getting it anyways.

Anyone else super annoyed and find it hard to believe that of all these tests there have only been 2 players cleared in 24 hours and the both happen to be Westbrook and Lebron?

It reeks of BS to me.

Am I wrong or have others been out that fast.

There's going to be a new variant in 6 months and everyone is going to get re-infected again. STOP TESTING vaccinated players!
