ESPN’s Malika Andrews Shows Incredible Poise Discussing Breonna Taylor Ruling on ‘SportsCenter’

ESPN's Malika Andrews has been one of the breakout stars of the NBA bubble. Andrews, 25, has written about the NBA for ESPN.com since 2018 and was selected to be one of the network’s few reporters inside the Orlando campus. When she made her sideline reporting debut for ESPN’s broadcast of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, she was believed to be the youngest person to ever land the sideline gig.

Andrews, a former newspaper reporter, had extremely little on-camera experience before being sent to the bubble but ESPN clearly believes she has the talent to succeed in that spot, and she showed why on Wednesday night.
