This change will take effect Thursday night for the Mavs' game against the Warriors.
They also will continue the vaccine clinic at the Jack Daniels Old No. 7 Club in the AAC, which is open two hours before tipoff until halftime.

Back in November, the Mavs relaxed the COVID-19 vaccine and testing requirements for most fans at home games, but anyone sitting within 15 feet of the court still has to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.
The team said they will continue to monitor cases and make any changes that are needed in the future.
