Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai will be paying team employees and Barclays Center workers the same checks they would have gotten if they were working events as scheduled through the end of May, per Brian Lewis of The New York Post.

The checks could end up totaling an estimated $6 million:

But Nets and Barclays Center employees are getting the same checks they would have if they’d worked events as scheduled through the end of May. And it’s not just NBA games, but concerts, Islanders games, college basketball like the A-10 tourney and even graduations.

A source familiar with the unions and the overall process told The Post the checks cut could end up totaling an estimated $6 million.

This is a tremendous gesture by Tsai and the Nets organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected so many people in the NBA who work behind the scenes. It has been really cool to see NBA owners and players step up in this time of need.

Nets superstar point guard Kyrie Irving donated $323,000 to Feeding America and provided 250,000 meals for New York residents through City Harvest. The Brooklyn floor general is from New Jersey.

Brooklyn superstar Kevin Durant was one of the players in the league who tested positive for COVID-19. The Nets small forward is asymptomatic.

Before the season got suspended, Brooklyn was in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings.
