NBA on NBC to Return 2025-26 Featuring Michael Jordan as Lead Contributor

NBC is set to resume broadcasting NBA games starting with the 2025-26 season, marking its return after a 23-year hiatus, and Michael Jordan will be involved as a special contributor. The network's coverage will include up to 100 regular-season games, the All-Star game, and up to 28 playoff games, featuring veteran announcer Mike Tirico and former players like Reggie Miller. In the meantime, the Golden State Warriors continue their playoff run, facing challenges such as a recent loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves that put them at a 2-1 series deficit, with key performances from Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga. Warriors star Draymond Green has been in the spotlight both for his on-court fouls and turnovers, as well as off-court frustrations over what he perceives as unjust targeting by officials. Despite these tensions, Warriors players like Stephen Curry maintain a strong team culture characterized by humor and tight-knit chemistry, even during difficult games. This blend of NBA broadcasting news and Warriors playoff dynamics highlights the ongoing excitement and challenges in the league.
