COVID-19: potential ticketing revenue loss for NBA teams 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020 hit the sports industry hard. Many professional leagues across the globe suspended their seasons, including the National Basketball Association in the United States. At the time the season was suspended in March 2020, there were still 259 games left in the 2019/20 NBA regular season. The Los Angeles Lakers, who had ten remaining regular season games left, were in line to lose 82.1 million U.S. dollars in ticketing revenue as a result of the crisis.

2020年初爆发的COVID-19疫情对体育产业造成了沉重的打击。全球众多职业联赛纷纷暂停赛季，包括美国的NBA（美国国家篮球协会）也不例外。在2020年3月暂停赛季之际，2019/20赛季常规赛尚余259场比赛待进行。洛杉矶湖人队剩余10场常规赛，受此危机影响，预计将损失8210万美元的门票收入。
