The New Orleans Pelicans recently ended their deal with Diamond Sports Group (Bally Sports) to stream games and it's very possible that other NBA franchises will look to do the same in the near future. The Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies and Detroit Pistons are four other teams that Bally is reportedly considering to drop ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Diamond Sports Group filed for bankruptcy in March of 2023, putting the future of their streaming deals in doubt. Last summer, new Charlotte Hornets co-owner Rick Schnall was asked about the organization's plans for a future TV deal if something were to fall through with Bally.
