Charles Barkley says that next season will be his last on TV, no matter what happens with the NBA's media deals. The Hall of Fame player has spent the last 24 years working as a studio analyst for TNT, which could lose the rights to broadcast NBA after next season. But no matter where the games end up, Barkley won't be following.

Charles Barkley arrives at the NBA Awards on June 24, 2019, at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. Barkley says next season will be his last on TV, no matter what happens with the NBA's media deals. It will be the Hall of Fame player's 25th season and could be the last that TNT broadcasts the league. Charles Barkley said Friday that next season will be his last on TV, no matter what happens with the NBA’s media deals.

The NBA’s current deals with ABC-ESPN and Turner Sports expire after next season and the league has been talking with NBC, ESPN and Amazon, among other networks and platforms, about what comes next. Commissioner Adam Silver said last week he hopes new long-term deals will be completed shortly.
