With the new season arriving, there are some changes to point out, especially on the broadcasting end.
Prime and NBC/Peacock will start broadcasting games in the 2025-26 NBA season, replacing TNT after they failed to be included in the new broadcasting contract with the NBA.
On Thursday, Prime announced its new lineup of broadcasters.

Ian Eagle was also formerly with TNT doing NBA games, but also has done local broadcasts for the Nets.
Michael Grady has bounced around the league, calling games for the Nets, Timberwolves, and has done other nationally televised NBA broadcasts.
Last but not least, Eric Collins will be doing play-by-play for Prime, which is a huge win for many NBA fans.
Collins has had a long and successful career, but recently has been known for being the Hornets' local play-by-play broadcaster.
He's become popular for his unique calls when he doesn't hold back his enthusiasm for the game.
