Speaking yesterday from Orlando to reporters at his annual press conference before Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Silver spoke of his hopes that NBA games could again include spectators ― in partially stocked seats at a minimum. In addition to his desire to see happy customers watching basketball again in 2021, Silver and NBA owners have pragmatic cause for bringing a live audience back: Money. Some reported estimates believe approximately 40 per cent of league profits comes from all the revenue streams flowing when fans attend games, from tickets, concessions, parking and in-arena merchandise sales.

Whether or not fans are allowed to return next season, several other issues will need to be worked out before a next season even begins, starting with when that season will actually start. Silver again mentioned he is looking to either December or January as possible windows to begin next season, but he is first holding out for more scientific assurances that all involved can remain safe and responsible no matter which plan the league utilises.
