LA Clippers: NBA salary cap will be lowered due to coronavirus

Financially, the 2019-20 season has not been great for the NBA. The season started with issues with China surrounding Darryl Morey’s comments, which was then followed up with reports of viewership being down. While both of those issues weren’t great for the league, the coronavirus pandemic that shut the league down will have ramifications for the LA Clippers and every other team in the league.

According to a report by Marc Berman of the New York Post, league sources have all but confirmed that the salary cap for the 2020-21 season will be lowered. Given that a decision has still not been made on the continuation of this season, it’s interesting to already know the league is preparing for the worst next season.
