If you are travelling with a team to a state that does not allow your profession (PT or AT) to perform DN, but your licensed “home” state does allow it, can you perform DN in the other state?

This is a question that goes beyond DN. Several states do not have reciprocity and you should have a license to practice at all, let alone to perform DN. However, many ATs/ PTs travel with teams and cover their team despite where they are, and despite the state laws. This is a huge issue across the board, which is why things like the PT Licensure Compacture act http://www.fsbpt.org/FreeResources/PhysicalTherapyLicensurecompact.aspx and the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act https://www.nata.org/sports-medicine-licensure-clarity-act are being worked on. http://cqrcengage.com/nata/app/bill/931768So- again- this issue goes beyond DN. I know I am not specifically answering your question but hope the above information provides clarity for treating your athletes/ patients across state lines in general.
