After refusing for months, Andrew Wiggins has gotten the COVID-19 vaccination and will be available to play in home games this season.

The 26-year-old was previously hellbent against getting the jab ... saying he had nothing against other folks being vaccinated, but it was his personal decision to elect against it.

Considering the San Francisco Dept. of Public Health currently requires anyone 12 or older to be fully vaccinated to attend indoor events, Wiggins would have missed every Warriors home game this season -- and the paycheck that comes with it. But, Kerr says the saga is over ... telling reporters the star decided to cave in and get the vaccine.

"Andrew got vaccinated," Kerr said."He just told me today that he was fine with us acknowledging it and that will be the end of it. I'm not going to answer any questions beyond that."was deniedNow that Andrew is vaccinated, the Warriors can put their focus on the upcoming season as they look to some noise in the Western Conference this season.

Kerr said he expects Wiggins to see some action Monday night as the GSW tip off their preseason against the Portland Trail Blazers.

He has no side effects and is able to play. That was easy.

Money talk in the long run !

It’s hilarious how no other vaccine mandate made people so angry . It’s just the mentality now . Hospital workers have had mandated vaccinesfor years with variants of flu shots and hep, etc and no one was mad , it’s sad really . Geez stop being mad and be safe .

Good luck thirty 30 years down the road when things start to fall off and not work. And I don't mean old age bruh

Sad. That his right to make a living was subverted by a socialist totalitarian US gov. Sad. Hope he sues

Sure he did

Boo

All of the sudden decided to get the vaccine, eh? Pretty remarkable that this announcement comes one day after being told that if he didn't take the jabs, he had the possibility of losing $16M! I'm quite sure that amount of possible loot loss was a motivating factor! Mmm, hmmm😏

Dauumm. Sad ma bro. All this NBA players NFL. SOCCER ATHLETES ALL MARKED AND FORCED BY THE DEVIL AND HIS DEMONSIPLES TO CONTROL THEM MENTALY IN THE FUTURE AND UNTIL BODY GETS WORN AND BEATEN BY SPIKE PROTEIN AND METAL MICROBES IN THE 💉🧪🧬⚗️🌡️🧲🧿

He heard about players not getting paid

Basically Wiggins proved that vaccine mandates work... Only a select few will refuse to get the vaccine when their job is on the line. Hopefully more and more businesses start implementing vaccine mandates.

Lies. He didn't refuse for months. He had until the start of training camp and he played yesterday. TMZ is the new NY Post.

If he grows a third leg will his employer feel responsible for handling that issue

Yep because he wants his money

Bowed down to the masses.

👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Smh

NBA: 'Just looked our wrists...WE GOT TIME TODAY. Either take the vaccine or forfeit MILLIONS.' Wiggins: 'THIR YEA, THIR!!!'

Smart guy!

Slowly but sorely we’re losing our abilities to make the “vaccine” a choice. People shouldn’t be threatened to lose their livelihoods because they don’t want to put a foreign substance in their bodies that they’re not comfortable with.

I mean NBA forced him like the rest of us it’s not a choice we will have to fight a different way but not by giving anyone the money we deserve

Possibility of missing those pay checks outweighed the religious fear of the vaccine.
