The Los Angeles Lakers will unveil their 2020 NBA championship banner when fans return to Staples Center.

This is what Lakers’ president of business operations, Tim Harris, said, while speaking to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.

“We won’t be unveiling a banner because we want to wait for the fans on that. When you win a championship, the championship has a lot of quote-unquote owners. A championship belongs to the team, it belongs to the players, it belongs to the fans.

“And then the stuff that comes with a championship, the assets that come with a championship, it’s kind of like the ownership group are the caretakers of the trophy.

And the rings when you win a championship, those belong to the players. And the banner when you win a championship belongs to the fans. That’s kind of how I look at this,” Harris said.

The Lakers will have a championship ring ceremony prior to their season opener vs the Clippers.
