News broke over the weekend that "Inside the NBA" will carry on after months of speculation that the new NBA media rights landscape meant the end of the beloved studio show.
On Monday, ESPN confirmed reports that it will take over broadcast rights for the show around its coverage of the NBA when the league's new 11-year media rights deal kicks in starting with the 2025-26 season.
It also filled in details that weren't clear from the reports — most notably, when fans will be able to watch Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith talk basketball, pop culture and whatever else is on their minds.
