Warriors Coach Says Andrew Wiggins Has The Kovid Stroke

The team’s head coach, Steve Kerr, told reporters on Sunday that Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins, who resisted getting the Covid-19 vaccine, was vaccinated.

And for someone who isn’t overly political, when you make something so political and not everyone is interested in politics, you can turn those people off too. I think there’s something to be said for people’s concern about something that’s under so much pressure. Like, why are you pushing it so hard?”

Green’s comments received support from the NBA’s biggest star, LeBron James, as well as from Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who is a frequent critic of the NBA. senator He also said in a Twitter post on Wednesday, “I stand by Andrew Wiggins” and other unvaccinated players, including Orlando Magic’s Jonathan Isaac and Washington Wizards’ Bradley Beal.
