It's official. Andrew Wiggins has been denied religious exemption from San Francisco's city vaccination mandate. The Golden State Warriors star either has to get the COVID-19 vaccine or face the consequences that come with refusing it.
The NBA released a statement on its denial of the Warriors forward.
Via Reuters:
“The NBA has reviewed and denied Andrew Wiggins' request for religious exemption from the San Francisco Department of Public Health's order requiring COVID-19 vaccination for all participants age 12 and older at large indoor events,” the NBA said in a statement.
“Wiggins will not be able to play in Warriors home games until he fulfills the city's vaccination requirements.”

Some fans found ways to shade Andrew Wiggins' career. He's been a a great addition to the Warriors squad, but is still far below the expectations set on him as a former number one overall pick.

It remains to be seen if the religious exemption denial will spur Andrew Wiggins to just get the COVID-19 vaccine. Should he refuse, the Warriors will definitely have major decisions to make.
