Why was Kyrie Irving allowed to play in SF last night? I thought everybody in Chase Center has to be vaccinated.

There's an exemption for employees of companies that are based in another state.

For those working on site but employed by an out of state entity, i.e. players and coaches in this case.

Maybe a better way to say it is that the California rule can only apply to California employers.

So that is also why the Minnesota coach was not sporting a mask on the sideline, I take it, a few games back?  Thanks for the explanation.

Given the libertarian streak in my older age, I was surprised with how annoyed I was that the Wolves' coach wasn't even "pretending" with a mask (i.e., wearing one, but then lowering it to bark instructions) at the Ws game.  If nothing else, it was rude - you're a guest, at least have the decency to honor host's requests.

But at least now there's an explanation for it. 

[BTW, am surprised NBA doesn't have a rule for all people participating under its umbrella].

Agree re umbrella, Teejers. And, to be clear, the exception re out of state employees is included in the SF rule?

Pretty tough to have an “umbrella” rule when there are differing rules in states. And then differing rules within cities and counties in those states. Plus there is a CBA and Union to consider.


As for the SF rule, wait a week or two. It will change.  And therein lies one of the problems….

When is James Wiseman going to play his first NBA game of his second season? That's pretty much the only thing on my mind re: the Dubs.

Not soon, he's not even doing contact workouts. But why is that the only thing on your mind? surely he won't contribute much even when he does return.

I've heard talk that he would return in February after the All Star Game, but given the constant slippage, my skepticism is significant. I have been a very large James Wiseman fan ever since the Warriors landed the #2 draft pick in 2020 and am quite eager to see him in his sort of year 2.

Normally, you would argue it is possible to have a uniform set of rules for a league, but different states have mutually exclusive rules, so that while certain states might require vaccinations, others forbid companies from imposing vaccine requirements.

Not sure if you heard, but he had additional minor surgery in December to deal with continued swelling in the injured knee.

Yes, but that wasn't suppose to keep him out more than 2-4 weeks. It's now been what, coming up on 8 weeks?  The Spurs announcer last night said the Warriors expect Wiseman back this month, but I don't know how this is possible. Bob Myers said in interview Feb. 1 that they expect a Wiseman update in a few days, and the next step is being cleared for contact. Then would be 3-3, 5-5, and then I would think some time at Santa Cruz, then the Warriors. Just hard to see all that happening in 4 weeks.
