Part of it is what you said: Kyrie is in the biggest media market in the world and on the presumptive favorites for the NBA title. Wiggins is in one of the NBA's biggest markets and on one of the last decade's most successful teams. No one cares about the Wizards.

The other part is that Kyrie and Wiggins are on two of the three teams where not being vaccinated would effect their ability to play home games. If Kyrie were still in Cleveland and Wiggins was still on the Wolves, this wouldn't be as big of a deal, because neither of those cities have ordinances that prevent them from entering their home stadium.
