Earlier this week, Sports Media Watch released a report that the 2020 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat had a 49 percent drop in television viewership compared to last year’s Finals between the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors across all American national networks (ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, NBATV).
As for the NBA Playoffs (which I assume includes the restart which were effectively playoff games anyway), ratings were down 37 percent. The Washington Wizards were part of the season restart.
