While all team personnel in the NBA are getting their booster doses, players who are not vaccinated or do not receive a booster dose will be subject to daily surveillance and game day testing until February 17.
According to the news of Shams Charania from The Athletic, all the personnel working in the NBA teams have had booster doses. While it has been observed that the number of cases has decreased with the effect of the booster doses in the players and staff, daily surveillance and matchday tests will be applied to the players who are not vaccinated or who do not have the booster dose, although it is suitable for the booster dose, until 17 February.
Further clarification: Players who remain unvaccinated or eligible for booster will remain under daily surveillance and game day testing through Feb. 17.
Number of player and staff cases have declined substantially recently — and 100 percent of staff have received booster. https://t.co/CTE9In9viO

The NBA management made a new regulation about booster doses exactly a week ago. Players will be tested daily during the All-Star break and their activities will be restricted. Players are required to take a daily PCR test during the pre-All-Star break on February 20. Those who do not complete their vaccinations will be restricted from attending closed meetings, bars and clubs.
The increased test application, which was previously announced until January 15, will be terminated tomorrow. After that, if there is a symptom or a directive, the test will be done.
