There is still a chance for vaccinated players to play Saturday, but two negative tests 24 hours apart will be required by 4 P.M. Friday. Considering the timing of these tests they are long shots to play Saturday and that could prove problematic. At some point when enough players are unable to play, the gap in talent closes and makes what should have been a winnable game one where they could very well lose.
