00:00 I'm Jill Painter Lopez of Sports Illustrated here in Los Angeles with some breaking news
00:06 that could deal a serious blow to the hopes of the Lakers winning another NBA title.
00:11 Now Mayor Eric Garcetti has told high-ranking officials he's considering a plan of banning all
00:16 large gatherings in the city through the rest of 2020. Now that would include live concerts,
00:22 sports, and things of that nature. This according to a report in the LA Times. It's unclear if that
00:28 were to happen if games could still resume just without fans. Now the Lakers still have some hopes
00:34 here if this plan were to go into action because the NBA is considering resuming in another city
00:40 perhaps like Las Vegas. Now LeBron James is trying to win his first title with the Lakers in a Lakers
00:45 uniform and the Lakers are trying to win their first championship since 2010. They are the top
00:50 team in the Western Conference but it does appear that day by day chances of resuming the NBA season
00:56 are getting slimmer and slimmer. Again the mayor of this city in Los Angeles considering a plan to
01:02 ban large gatherings for the rest of 2020 so it is possible we do not see sports in Los Angeles
01:08 until 2021 unless sports were to be played without fans.
