Seven months after winning the franchise's 17th title, the Los Angeles Lakers will finally unveil their 2020 NBA championship banner, the team announced.
Prior to Thursday's rematch against their Finals opponent, the Miami Heat, Lakers governor Jeanie Buss revealed the team's plans to display the banner at long last on May 12 when L.A. plays its final home game of the regular season against the Houston Rockets.
The Lakers beat the Heat in Game 6 to take the title back on October 11 in the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida.
"There was a couple reasons why we waited," Buss told Spectrum SportsNet, the team's regional TV partner, on Thursday.
