Doris Burke’s return to ESPN/ABC’s lead broadcast booth next season is uncertain, while Mike Breen is confirmed to return under a long-term contract, and ESPN aims to re-sign Richard Jefferson. The network has faced challenges since firing Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson after the 2023 Finals, with Doc Rivers briefly joining before leaving for the Milwaukee Bucks and JJ Redick following suit to coach the Lakers. This offseason, ESPN will evaluate Burke’s role, considering whether a two-person team suits her better, with Tim Legler and Jay Bilas as potential candidates for the lead booth.
