The Sydney Kings informed the NBL today a player had returned a positive COVID test.
All players and essential staff who are deemed close contacts will now be tested and self-isolate in adherence with NSW Health protocols.
Sydney has suspended training until further notice.
“We have been working closely with Sydney and the relevant health authorities to ensure all protocols are followed with the health and wellbeing of those impacted and the community a priority,” Hungry Jack’s NBL Commissioner, Jeremy Loeliger said.
“At this point, we are not going to mandate vaccinations for players, coaches and staff, but we will continue to educate our people and will strongly recommend it.
“It may be that those who don’t get vaccinated won’t be able to travel between states and countries, or even enter certain venues, and therefore won’t be able to participate in some games when the season begins.
“Individuals that decide not to get vaccinated could be subjected to different rules depending on various government protocols and restrictions.”
