Lakers, Clippers, Kings Partnering Up To Pay Staples Center Staff During Coronavirus Stoppage

The coronavirus pandemic has had far-reaching effects on daily life that are unprecedented in the modern era.

To help decrease the spread of the highly contagious virus, every major American sports league suspended operations, including the 2019-20 NBA season.

While players and fans alike have been impacted by this, perhaps those facing the worst of it are arena employees. This includes ushers and security at Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Los Angeles Kings games. Those people, who work tirelessly to provide a safe environment for fans on gamedays, will be out of work for at least 30 days.
