NBA TV is the national station set to broadcast most games with 107 games, while the ESPN network, showing games on ESPN and ABC, has a total of 101 while TNT has 65.
The league’s landmark 2021-22 season will see the first-ever female full-time TV play-by-play announcer among major men’s pro leagues in Lisa Byington, who joins the Milwaukee Bucks broadcasting crew on Bally Sports Wisconsin. Less than a month after that announcement, it was revealed that she would have company in Kate Scott, who joined the NBC Sports Philadelphia’s broadcasting team as their play-by-play announcer.
