The Wizards are playing later this afternoon against the Celtics on ESPN. However, the game will not be on NBC Sports Washington, so Steve Buckhantz won’t be doing play by play commentary while Kara Lawson is providing color analysis.
While Buckhantz is getting a well-deserved day off today, Lawson was back in front of a national audience today for the Knicks vs. 76ers game. She called the game with Ryan Ruocco, who does play by play for ESPN’s NBA and WNBA games.
Like Lawson, Ruocco also has a local team gig, where he does play by play announcing for the Brooklyn Nets.
