With a deadline approaching, TNT announced Monday that it has submitted a matching offer to retain its NBA broadcast rights and its intent to continue producing the beloved studio show "Inside the NBA."
The NBA has not responded. The Athletic's Andrew Marchand reports that TNT is matching the new 11-year, $1.8 billion annual contract the NBA has with Amazon, a deal that the NBA prefers to honor, according to the report. The league is expected to decline TNT's offer to claim the rights to the Amazon package, setting up a potential showdown among the three entities, per the report.
