REGGIE MILLER TO JOIN NBC SPORTS BEGINNING WITH 2025-26 NBA SEASON
STAMFORD, Conn. – Feb. 18, 2025 – Reggie Miller, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and one of the game's greatest shooters and clutch performers, will join NBC Sports as a lead game analyst beginning with the 2025-26 season when the NBA returns to NBC and debuts on Peacock this October.
Miller played all 18 seasons of his professional career with the Indiana Pacers and is the team's all-time leader in points scored, assists, and steals. His illustrious career includes countless milestones and accomplishments: retired with the most three-point shots made in NBA history (2,560, which now ranks third); a five-time NBA All-Star; led Indiana to the NBA Finals in 2000; won a gold medal with Team USA at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics; was selected to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team; and culminated his career with enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012. In 2004, Miller won the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, which is the NBA's annual community service award.
Following his playing career, Miller joined Turner Sports as a broadcaster, receiving critical acclaim as a game analyst throughout his 20-year career. In addition to the regular season, Miller called numerous NBA All-Star games and playoff series, including Conference Finals. He will continue his role with Turner Sports through the end of the 2024-25 season. When Miller joins NBC Sports in October, he is expected to call one or more games per week during the regular season and playoffs.
'It's good to be HOME, NBC Sports...and hello, Peacock! Some of my most memorable moments have been on NBC and I'm looking forward to creating more,' said Miller.
Regarded as one of the game's most clutch players, Miller's career coincided with NBC Sports' coverage of the NBA from 1990-2002, resulting in many memorable moments on the network, none more so than when he scored eight points in a span of nine seconds to shock the New York Knicks and the Madison Square Garden crowd in Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals.
'One of the greatest clutch performers of his generation has apparently done it again,' exclaimed NBC Sports' Bob Costas in 1998 following Miller's game-winning shot over Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis.
'Having provided so many memorable moments on NBC during his playing days, it's only fitting that Reggie will join our team as the NBA returns to NBC and debuts on Peacock,' said Sam Flood, Executive Producer, NBC Sports. 'As basketball fans know, not only was Reggie one of the game's greatest shooters and clutch performers, but he was also one of its most entertaining players with a unique combination of skill and swagger. He has successfully brought those traits to his broadcasting career and consistently provides viewers with in-depth analysis while pulling no punches.'
A first-round draft pick (11th overall) by the Pacers in 1987, Miller starred in college at UCLA, finishing his career as the school's No. 2 all-time scorer (now tied for third). Miller was inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998. Click here for more on Reggie Miller.
In addition to Miller, NBC Sports announced earlier this month that Jamal Crawford will join its coverage as a game analyst and that Mike Tirico will serve as its lead play-by-play voice. Emmy Award-winning producer Frank DiGraci was announced in December 2024 as the coordinating producer for NBC Sports' NBA coverage.
In July 2024, NBCUniversal and the NBA announced an 11-year agreement to present NBA and WNBA regular-season and playoff basketball games across numerous platforms beginning with the 2025-26 season. Peacock will livestream exclusive national Monday night games while NBC/Peacock will present national coverage of regional doubleheaders on Tuesday nights. NBC Sports will launch Sunday Night Basketball in 2026 across NBC and Peacock, providing NBA fans with three consecutive nights of national coverage across NBCUniversal platforms during the second half of the regular season.

Additional information about NBC Sports' 2025-26 NBA coverage will be announced soon.

Former NBA guard Patrick Beverley breaks down Kevin Durant's fit with Houston
Former NBA guard Patrick Beverley breaks down Kevin Durant's fit with Houston originally appeared on The Sporting News The Houston Rockets took a step toward title contention after acquiring Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns in June. Houston made the playoffs for the first time since 2020 last season, blending young talent with veteran leadership. However, the team fell to the Golden State Warriors in a seven-game first-round series after finishing the regular season with a 52-30 record, placing second in a stacked Western Conference. Following their postseason loss, the Rockets took a huge swing and acquired Durant in a historic seven-team trade, notably giving up Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and draft capital. Now, they'll look to go on a deep playoff run in a star-studded West. MORE: Rockets face $122 million decision following blockbuster Kevin Durant trade Kevin Durant could thrive in Houston Ex-NBA player Patrick Beverley discussed Durant's fit within Houston's offensive scheme in a recent episode of The Pat Bev Pod, predicting his role in the offense and how the team's strong offensive rebounding will play to Durant's skillset. 'I think that he's going to have a lot of freedom,' Beverley said. 'I think he'll get a ton of open shots. I think a lot of people don't understand the offensive rebounding that Houston has — those guys, Steven Adams, [Alperen] Sengun, those wings, they offensive rebound so well he's going to have a lot of offensive rebound kick-out threes. … You can take the ball out of Fred [VanVleet's] hands a little bit and put him on the wing, let KD bring it up at times… they got a lot of weapons.' The Rockets bolstered their frontcourt by reuniting with Clint Capela this offseason, adding to an already strong center group of Sengun and Adams. To Beverley's point, that should create plenty of opportunities for second-chance points. Despite trading away Green, the team still has an abundance of talented young players, including Sengun, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith, Tari Eason and Reed Sheppard. With plenty of youth alongside veterans like Durant, VanVleet, Adams, Capela, and Dorian Finney-Smith, Houston has a legitimate shot to compete for a title this season.

A reflective John Wall retires from NBA and makes pivot to TV
John Wall is entering the next phase of his life willingly but not wholly. In his mind, he's still a hooper who should be on an NBA roster, running an offense, mentoring young players and closing out his career on his terms. In reality, he is about to turn 35, a father of two who has gone more than two seasons without receiving the call he has wanted to hear.
