For Nets fans, young and old, the 2020-21 season can’t come fast enough, but there will be a void ... and it’s a big one.
Confirming a New York Post report, a YES Network spokesperson tells NetsDaily that after 30 years as a Nets broadcaster, Jim Spanarkel will not return to the YES broadcast team this coming season.
Spanarkel’s visibility at the network has been quietly reduced in recent years. Last season, Spanarkel, 63, moved from the sidelines to the studio. Before that, Spanarkel’s game workload had dropped off in recent years with the Nets bringing on first Sarah Kustok then last year Richard Jefferson.
