ESPN's NBA Shake-Up: Doc Rivers and Doris Burke Take Center Stage, Mark Jackson Out

ESPN is reportedly planning to promote Doris Burke to the NBA Finals and hire Doc Rivers, while laying off Mark Jackson. The network aims to replace Jeff Van Gundy, who was recently fired, and create a new broadcasting team alongside Mike Breen. While the deals are not yet finalized, they are progressing in that direction. ESPN's decision to let go of Jackson was influenced by the hope of giving more game reps to JJ Redick and Richard Jefferson. The network's talent layoffs also affected Van Gundy, who was critical of the NBA and its officiating. ESPN's moves are expected to please the NBA, as the network is likely to retain NBA rights in the next round of billion-dollar deals.
