NBA players who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 will have to comply with a long list of restrictions to take part in the upcoming season, ESPN reported.

Vaccination is not mandatory but 90% of players have already received their shots, NBA Players Association Executive Director Michele Roberts told Yahoo Sports in July.

ESPN said that, as per the NBA's tentative health and safety protocols released to teams on Tuesday, vaccinated players will only be tested if they show symptoms or are a close contact of a positive case.
