Vaccinated NBAers will get expanded benefits

The NBA and NBPA are offering expanded benefits for players "who have been fully vaccinated," per a memo to teams. Fully vaccinated individuals "will no longer have to quarantine following exposure to COVID-19; can have friends, family and others visit at home and on the road without having them test or register with the team; and can dine outdoors at restaurants." Fully vaccinated teams "will no longer have to wear masks at the practice facility; have more flexibility to leave the team hotel on the road; and can dine indoors or outdoors at restaurants." It is "not yet clear how many individuals around the league have been vaccinated" (ESPN.com, 3/17).
