NBA commissioner Adam Silver isn't quite ready to name a winner in the race to secure the league's media rights. Multiple reports have surfaced in recent days suggesting that TNT's parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery , is on the verge of losing its broadcasting rights deal to competitors. TNT and the NBA have been partners for the past few decades.
No official announcement about the future home of NBA games has been made, and Silver cautioned that negotiations for the broadcast packages are ongoing, and the outcome is unknown. Who knows,' Silver told TMZ ahead of a White House state dinner. 'We’re all still talking. Who knows how it’s gonna work out.' The state of the league's television rights has been a hot topic partly due to the popularity of the longtime running studio 'Inside the NBA,' which features Ernie Johnson and former NBA greats Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith.
