The legal entanglement between WBD and the NBA is over.
The lawsuit WBD filed in New York Supreme Court has been settled, and Warner Bros. Discovery will be able to develop new shows with the NBA, and WBD will also have international NBA rights in Northern Europe and Latin America, excluding Mexico and Brazil.
Warner Bros. Discovery also struck a deal with Disney to license the hit TNT show “Inside the NBA” to ESPN and ABC starting next season, which will continue to be produced by TNT Sports. The program features host Ernie Johnson, with analysis from Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and NBA champions Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal.
