“Is Ian Eagle Heading to Amazon’s NBA Team? ”

Amazon is considering a high-profile addition to its NBA broadcast team. Ian Eagle, known for his play-by-play skills on TNT and YES Network, is in serious discussions to join Amazon's Prime Video service. This move would mark a significant change for Eagle, who currently covers national NBA games, the Nets on YES, and the NCAA Tournament for CBS and WBD. He also calls NFL games for CBS. When asked, neither Amazon nor Eagle's representatives provided a comment. Next season, the NBA will return to NBC after a long absence. Mike Tirico and Noah Eagle, Ian's son, are expected to lead the broadcasts for the NBA on NBC. The NBA and Amazon have agreed on a deal, but TNT's parent company, WBD, has sued the league over rights issues. Despite the legal tangle, sports media insiders believe Amazon will likely become an NBA rights holder next season.
