Postgame editions will be open-ended on ESPN while ABC will run a half-hour and then continue on the ESPN app. The program will air on 20 dates during the regular season and throughout the NBA Playoffs, including the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals.
Inside The NBA has long held center stage and has remained unchanged for many years. ESPN rotates analysts pretty regularly and long had a set-in-stone broadcast team. Those will still be around this season, but the NBC and Prime Video rosters will have fresh faces.
