The National Basketball Association said it will continue to be subject to strict vaccination regulations in Canada and will continue to require players to be vaccinated to play the Raptors before traveling to Toronto.
According to a memorandum by Jake Fisher of Bleacher Report, unvaccinated players still cannot travel to Toronto without “good medical reason”.
Sources: The NBA has issued a memorandum to teams today that unvaccinated NBA players without valid medical causes will not be eligible to play in Toronto during the 2022-23 season.

The league also said teams must list players based on their vaccination status using “Health and Safety Protocols.”
The NBA also confirmed that players who miss away games in Toronto will not be paid for home games against the league’s only Canadian team.
The Raptors season includes 44 home games at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.
Players, including Brooklyn Nets player Kyrie Irving and 76ers defender Matisse Tibull, were unable to play in Toronto due to their vaccination status.
