Doris Burke's future at ESPN uncertain despite making history in 2024 NBA Finals broadcast
(Image Source - Getty Images) Attention NBA fans—hold onto your remotes because ESPN might be shaking things up in its top broadcast booth after just two seasons with Doris Burke, Mike Breen, and Richard Jefferson. Burke, who broke ground as the first woman to be a TV analyst for the 2024 NBA Finals, is now facing some uncertainty. The Athletic reports that her role for the 2025–26 season isn't set in stone, even though Breen has a long-term contract and Jefferson is expected to re-sign. With notable support and some critiques on-air, the drama is not only on the court but also in the booth. Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle and analyst Richard Jefferson rally behind Burke amid ESPN shake-up chatter ESPN is taking a close look at its NBA broadcast team, which has put Doris Burke's future in the spotlight. As reported by Andrew Marchand from The Athletic, Mike Breen is confirmed to return and Richard Jefferson is probably staying on, but Burke's position in the main booth is "not guaranteed for next season." It seems ESPN is considering if a two-person booth could be more effective, but no analysts are safe from being replaced. — TheDunkCentral (@TheDunkCentral) Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle showed his strong support just before Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals. He referred to the leak as "sad" and praised Burke for "revolutionizing the game for women in broadcasting," underlining her courage and expertise. His statements turned the media speculation into a wider dialogue about representation and respect. In the meantime, Richard Jefferson took a daring step into the spotlight. He showed up on the SEC Network pregame show ahead of the Women's College World Series sporting a shirt that said, "My Favorite Broadcaster is Doris Burke." Later, he proudly displayed it again from the stands while sitting next to Burke. It was a powerful gesture of support. Not everything's been perfect for the trio. Burke caused a stir during the Western Conference Finals, getting flak for comparing the series to world wars and calling Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander a "free‑throw merchant." Critics and fans alike noted that the booth seemed to lack chemistry, which could sway ESPN's decisions. Burke has an outstanding background. Since 1991, she has been with ESPN, climbing the ranks through college hoops, the WNBA, and sideline coverage. In 2023, she became part of the lead NBA commentary team, and in 2024, she made history by calling the NBA Finals on television. That legacy is significant. Also Read: Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green's honest take on owner Joe Lacob's Durant comments and Luka Doncic's unexpected trade news ESPN has a tough decision ahead: should they keep trailblazer Doris Burke or move towards a more compact booth? On one hand, she's a symbol and a supporter of female representation in sports media. On the other hand, the importance of chemistry and consistent commentary shouldn't be overlooked. With Breen secured and Jefferson likely coming back, Burke's future relies on whether ESPN values diversity and star power more than format efficiency. Either way, ESPN's next step will speak volumes about its priorities—and whether it wants to take the lead in the conversation rather than just follow along.

Steph Curry's shocked reaction to Luka Doncic's trade to rival Los Angeles Lakers: ‘They must be coming for us too'
Luka Doncic's trade to the Los Angeles Lakers was arguably the most sensational move in NBA history, as a young superstar got moved away from a team he had played for throughout his career in the league. It was a trade which caused waves all across social media and the basketball world, with not even the best of the best exempt from total shock regarding the news. Doncic joined LeBron James at the Lakers, further heating up the Californian rivalry between the Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. So sensational was the move that it left Warriors legend and star Stephen Curry reeling from the news. Curry's long-time teammate Draymond Green reflected on how the news went down when it was announced by NBA insider Shams Charania, an X post that shook the basketball landscape. Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel's talk-show, Green revealed how exactly it went down. 'I'm at this [charity poker] tournament and I sit down, 15 minutes later Steph yells 'Draymond! You seen the trade?' He's like Luka got traded,' explained Green regarding the situation. 'There's this video of us reacting. I couldn't believe it, you know, superstars at 25 don't get traded. Luka's a mega-star just coming off the NBA Finals. You just don't see that in the NBA. I immediately wondered, I have to be next, they must be coming for us too.' Green and Curry have teamed up for four NBA titles, three in a space of four years between 2015 and 2018, and most recently in 2022. Despite seeing everything that basketball has to offer, watching a true superstar cross over without any trade demands, and especially from a successful team, was something that caught them off guard. It wasn't the only high-profile trade discussed at that charity poker tournament, with Green also speaking about how a potential Kevin Durant return to Golden State was in the pipeline at that point in time. 'Joe Lakob, majority owner of the Warriors tells me 'Draymond, we got Kevin Durant, it's happening, it's at the finish line.' I'm like oh man, let's go. He comes running back to me two minutes later saying 'Draymond, Draymond, I'm not supposed to say anything. Don't tell anyone else,'' explained Green, who had a famous fallout with Durant which led to the superstar's move away from the Warriors after winning two championships in Oakland.
