Over the past weekend, the NBA’s players were given some grim news from Adam Silver and the NBA’s front office. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that on a call between players and the NBA front office that they anticipate that if the 2019-2020 NBA season resumes they do not anticipate any fans to be able to attend. From that call they estimated about 40% of the NBA’s revenues come from fans through the in game experience (gate sales, concessions, etc.). Adrian Wojnarowski in a report today said that many small market owners are worried that they’ll lose more than $20M in revenue sharing next season and are worried about the impact to competitive balance in the league.
When the NBA returns, can the Utah Jazz afford to stay in win-now mode?
