Cantù chases Johnson, No Vax player (from over 19 points per game) – Corriere.it

Johnson’s no vax beliefs were known from the time of signing, but by summer 2021 the regulatory framework was less rigid. The mandatory Super Green Pass since last week put Cant and Johnson at a crossroads: either the player got vaccinated, or he could no longer play training and leave, as well as follow the away team since access to hotels, restaurants and public transport is no longer allowed to non-vaccinated people. At a regulatory level, basketball does not require vaccination, to the point that among the professionals of the Serie A No Vax athletes and technicians can continue the activity through constant monitoring using swabs (every 48 hours if rapid or 72 if molecular). The amateur status of the A2 series has instead closed any room for maneuver to the company and the player. Once the escape to end the relationship with Johnson was triggered, the player married al Legia Warsaw in Poland, a country where there are no restrictions on the competitive activity of No Vax. For Cant there is the damage of having lost his best player (Johnson was traveling at 19, 7 points and 4.1 assists on average), but this is not the only case in the A2 basketball series. A similar situation present in Forl where the American player Kenny Hayes not vaccinated and can no longer go to the field; the 1987 winger, in the summer of 2021 he had signed a two-year contract, now ready to take legal action against the club.
