UNDATED (AP) — NBA referees will all be vaccinated against the coronavirus this season.
The NBA announced Saturday that it has struck a deal with the National Basketball Referees Association on that requirement. Part of the referees’ agreement with the NBA also says that those working games will receive booster shots once they become recommended.
The NBA’s agreement with the referees was revealed one day after the league told its teams that anyone within close proximity of players and referees will also have to be vaccinated.
Players are not required to be fully vaccinated.
