The basketball great paid for his refusal to take the vaccine by missing multiple games in the NBA in the 2021-22 season.

The Mavericks guard is celebrating Novak Djokovic’s success at the US Open. The Serb, who also refused to take the jab returned after 2 years in the US and won the US Open which was his 24th Grand Slam.
