ESPN Secures 'Inside the NBA' in Landmark Deal with WBD
Warner Bros. Discovery and ESPN have agreed to a deal allowing WBD to continue producing 'Inside the NBA' for ESPN starting in the 2025-26 season, despite TNT no longer airing NBA games. However, Shaquille O'Neal's contract with WBD expires in July 2025, creating uncertainty about his future on the show. While O'Neal is interested in staying, he is frustrated by the lack of contract clarity. He has options to explore, including deals with Amazon, NBC, or ESPN, but fans hope he re-signs with WBD.
