The National Basketball Association will open regular-season action in October, with the playoffs starting in April.
The national TV package once again has ESPN/ABC, now sharing with NBC (and subscription Peacock) with NBA TV presenting a large slate of games as well.
Locally, the New York Knicks will appear on MSG Network (with some games possibly being moved to MSG Sports Network when there are NHL conflicts). The Brooklyn Nets will appear on YES Network, with the likelihood of some April games being moved to WWOR-9 when there are conflicts with Yankees games.
New York Knicks
The long-standing Knicks MSG TV announce team is Mike Breen on play-by-play and Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier as analyst. The pre- and post-game host is Bill Pidto, with analysts Alan Hahn, Wally Szczerbiak and Monica McNutt.
Tyler Murray will be the Knicks’ radio voice, alongside McNutt.
