Anti-American, Commie/BLM crap is the main reason. A sub-theme of that can be seen in this advertising display of Dick's Balls. Focus on the following two negative factors, as related to the NBA:
1. Nike
2. China

The NBA’s TV ratings have been dropping ever since the league returned to action from its brief suspension of play. There has been a lot of conjecture regarding the cause, with little evidence offered either way.
Some have pointed to changing consumer habits as to why the numbers are plummeting, while others maintain it has to do with the NBA’s increased politicization.
Last week, a Harris Poll aimed to get to the root of the issue. The agency reached out to almost 2,000 people and gave them 10 choices to select from on why they are watching less NBA action.
Respondents were permitted to choose more than one answer.

NBA keep your damned Critical Race Theory, I.e. systemic racism to yourselves. I will not watch you racist bastards lecture me!
Ha! Ha!
Yeah! Me too.
You’ll notice the article, or the poll, didn’t address the NBA’s aligning of themselves with an organization directly involved, and in some cases created, deaths, property damage of private citizens, theft, and beatings of people for the purpose of promoting and increasing racial tension all over the US, BLM.
I get the feeling with the publicity BLM is getting a free pass for a vast majority of the criminal acts that have been linked to them, should have been part of the survey. That was the reason I stopped watching the NBA when they started supporting a terrorist organization ...BLM. I don’t think I’m alone.

Do you think the players realise their potential pay is quickly shrinking?
Black Lives MatterTM didn't infect NASCAR. NASCAR welcomed them along with the Social Justice Warrior (SJW) nonsense in a desperate attempt to stem their financial decline that started long before Black Lives MatterTM came along.
NASCAR made a deal with the Devil when they inked their television deals and have been paying ever since. Sports became unwatchable since they were aimed at the largest audience NASCAR could sell to advertisers to. (Think McDonald's instead the great burger joint you'd go to).
It’s obviously racism that has stopped people from watching /s.
The Corporations control sports.

I wonder why the NBA doesn’t do its own polling to find out why so many less people are watching? Do they not want to hear the answer? Oh wait, they have been doing polling but just haven’t been publishing their results.

If I had a choice between watching a pro basketball game and having a colonoscopy through my nasal passages, I go for the colonoscopy.
Just wait until they see the drop in FL ratings.
But trump is losing in a landslide
The fans are the product, not the customer.
The people buying ads are the customers. And they want to push the narrative.
And the targeted audience is seeing it.
Agree that we as fans are not the customer. NBA is beholden to woke corporate interests, yes. And the value of NBA advertising is directly tied to the number of viewers actually watching the NBA, which is a diminishing number.
