ESPN faced criticism for airing an AI-generated image of Tony Parker during Game 1 of the NBA Finals, which raised eyebrows among fans who questioned the authenticity of the depiction. The image featured Parker in a racing jacket, but many were concerned that ESPN could not find a genuine photo as they cut to commercial. The Spurs lost to the Knicks 105-95 despite a strong performance from Victor Wembanyama, who struggled with his shooting. Game 2 is scheduled for Friday night at 8:30 p.m. ET.
