The NBA’s Anti-Vaxxers Are Trying to Push Around the League—And It’s Working

One by one, the basketball players — non-vaccinated star here, fully-inoculated veteran on mute down there, a full-on anti-vaxxer front-and-center — logged into the video conference.

The annual summer meeting of the powerful NBA union had gone virtual again on August 7, and high on the agenda for the season ahead was a proposed mandate from the league office that 100 percent of players get vaccinated against Covid-19.

One response echoed from squares across the screen, according to players and an executive on the call: “Non-starter. Non-starter.”

Sachin Gupta’s promotion continues historic year for basketball in India

A few hours after the Minnesota Timberwolves parted ways with President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas, team owner Glen Taylor announced that Sachin Gupta would take over the responsibilities and duties of the role in the interim.

The promotion, albeit in an interim role, makes Gupta the first executive of Indian origin to lead an NBA franchise.

Gupta’s achievement, which comes nearly 15 years since he first joined an NBA franchise in the Houston Rockets, adds to the incredible list of accomplishments by Indians or personalities of Indian descent over the past 12 months in the world of basketball.
