The Warriors weren’t making the playoffs even before the shutdown. So they only missed out on seven regular-season home games, accounting for an estimated $25 million or so in lost profit. That stings, but it can be weathered, if that was the only financial ramification of this crisis. It is not. The Warriors, who privately own the massive San Francisco arena they just spent around $1.4 billion to construct, will spend all summer canceling concerts and events and, at this point, can’t be too confident that next season’s 41 home dates at Chase Center will begin as scheduled in October. Add to that: The league-wide lost revenue, which will dent each franchise’s pocketbook and, particularly if the playoffs aren’t salvaged, take a chunk out of next season’s projected salary cap, lowering the point at which a team enters the luxury tax, spiking penalties.
