re: NBA will require vaccine for referees and team staff but not players

“Roughly 85% of players are vaccinated, a league spokesman recently said, and, in a preliminary memo obtained by ESPN in early September, the league outlined a set of strict protocols for unvaccinated players.

Such protocols include having lockers far from vaccinated teammates and having to eat, fly and ride buses in different sections”

Makes a lot of sense maybe they can play on a different court also.
