I still haven't seen the rationale for why visiting unchip'd can play at GSW/NYK/BKN.

I’m just surprised the most apathetic player in the NBA cares about some issue like vaccines so much.

Kyrie will refuse it, lose 20 million, and try (and fail) at becoming the Kaepernick of the antivax movement. Calling it now.

A deeply religious man.  In fact, the only belief he holds deeper is not losing checks for missing home games.

Isaac seemed to give a pretty well-reasoned answered when asked about his decision not to get chipped.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Isaac?

Note: This Travis tweet is the only video I could find of Isaac's response that didn't also include several minutes of some youtuber giving their opinion on it.

also, I think the worst possible reason someone has given for not getting vaxxed is because people call them idiots for not getting vaxxed

He explained after the game he used the moment to pray and he felt kneeling would not fix the problems in the world. He explained to reporters his belief that the world’s problems could only be solved through coming together in prayer.

I have doubts he would have gotten the vaccine even if he never had covid before.

Recovery: Isaac tore his ACL on Aug. 2, 2020, in a regular-season seeding game shortly after the 2019-20 season resumed in Orlando. It was only his second game back from a hyperextended left knee, which kept him out for 31 games. "Recovery has been great," Isaac told reporters during the Magic's media day last week. "... Markelle [Fultz] has been right beside me each and every day so we've been able to feed off each other. I'm seeing great progress not just with my knee, but just with my game overall."

Return: Isaac's return to the floor remains unclear. "I will not elaborate on timelines," Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said on media day, noting that both Isaac and Fultz are coming along well in rehab.

I've been getting particularly annoyed with the "Why do people want me to vaxxed so badly?  Seems fishy" people

"It's not really something we believe in as a family," he said. "They know that I had to. It came down to get the vaccination or don't play basketball. I'm 26. I have two kids. I want more kids. I'm trying to do something that will generate as much money as I can for my kids and my future kids, [create] generational wealth. So, I took the gamble, took the risk, and hopefully, I'm good."
