In an email exchange with Bloomberg’s Eben Novy-Williams Monday, Mikhail Prokhorov expressed optimism that the signing of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving —as well as the team’s growing success— would generate new revenues for the Nets.
“We were already in the midst of one of the best off-seasons we’ve had since the team arrived in Brooklyn” in 2012, Prokhorov said in an email. “With our recent signings, our expectation is that we will surpass our highest revenue marks in franchise history this year.”
The revenue won’t be limited to ticket sales either, reports Novy-Williams who covers the business of sports.
