A major change in NBA coverage has occurred as the new season approaches, with Prime Video revealing its broadcasting lineup for the 2025–2026 campaign. The new team, which replaces TNT after the latter was excluded from the NBA's most recent broadcasting agreement, will be led by veteran play-by-play commentator Kevin Harlan. Prominent commentators Ian Eagle, Michael Grady, and Eric Collins accompany Harlan in providing play-by-play commentary.
Known for his lively commentary style, Harlan has been a major voice in NBA television for decades. He has previously worked for TNT. Ian Eagle, a former TNT employee, contributes his knowledge of local broadcasting for the Brooklyn Nets. While Eric Collins is known for his impassioned calls as the Hornets' local broadcaster, Michael Grady has called games for several teams, including the Timberwolves and the Nets.

Who Will Be Doing Play-By-Play Commentary?

  • Kevin Harlan
  • Ian Eagle
  • Michael Grady
  • Eric Collins
Dell Curry, Brent Barry, and Stan van Gundy will be on the analysis team. Van Gundy, the lead analyst on TNT and a former NBA coach, contributes dimension to the commentary by drawing on his in-depth understanding of the sport. After working in the front office and coaching, Brent Barry is returning to broadcasting and will provide new perspectives. NBA player Stephen Curry's father, Dell Curry, completes the analysis team with his background as a local broadcaster and former player.
Allie Clifton, Kristina Pink, and Cassidy Hubbarth will provide sideline coverage from the courtside. Hubbarth, who left ESPN not long ago, will play a key role for Prime. While Pink offers her experience covering the NFL and NBA, Clifton has previously worked as a sideline reporter for the Cavaliers and Lakers.
NBA fans' viewing experiences will be improved by this new broadcasting roster for Prime Video, which will feature well-known voices and esteemed athletes. Basketball fans should expect an interesting transition as this lineup makes its debut at the beginning of the NBA season.
