Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry revealed that the team has offered support to Andrew Wiggins, but hopes he will change his mind and be vaccinated against COVID-19.

"At the end of the day, it is up to him, there's no secret to that point,” Curry said at Monday's media day.

“We obviously hope that he has all the right information and access to the right resources to ask all the questions he has on making that decision. We hope he's available. We hope it moves in the right direction. My opinion is, obviously I got it and ready to be available and following the mandates.”

The NBA on Friday said it had “reviewed and denied” Wiggins' request for a religious exemption and that he would not be able to play in Warriors home games until he fulfilled the vaccine mandate. Anyone 12 or older is required to show proof of vaccination to attend indoor events at Chase Center, and that message is on the Warriors' website for fans.
