This is not unlike the vaccination opportunities being offered by other teams around the NBA. The New Orleans Pelicans announced last week eligible persons can receive the vaccine for the remainder of the team's home games at the Smoothie King Center.

The league has made a clear effort in terms of encouraging vaccinations. Health and safety protocols are relaxed for teams reaching a certain threshold.

Multiple franchises–like the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat–are nearing or at that point. Now, individual teams like the Bucks and Pelicans are offering vaccines to common citizens as the country as a whole tries to climb closer to a national threshold.
