Is a master’s degree in sport management worth it if you already have some industry experience?

I have a bachelor’s degree plus internship experience. I am considering graduate school, but I am not sure whether it would materially improve my job options or whether two years of work experience would be more valuable.

It depends on the outcome you need. A master’s can be valuable for specialization, research, network access or certain administrative paths, but it is not a universal requirement for working in sport. Compare the program’s cost and placement opportunities with what you could gain by working during the same period.
