Charlotte Hornets fans will get a local-origination telecast from home games this season.
That doesn’t mean Fox Sports Southeast’s announcers will travel with the team.
Eric Collins, Dell Curry and Ashley Shahamadi will call the Hornets’ season-opener Wednesday, on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, they will do so from a video feed in Spectrum Center, rather than be at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
That will be the norm this season in the NBA, in response to the pandemic, according to FSSE spokesman Brad Bernstein. In an email to The Observer, Bernstein said home teams would provide video for both teams’ telecasts, with announcers for each road team calling games remotely.
