Warner Bros. Discovery has not secured the rights to continue broadcasting NBA games on TNT beyond next season. This development could mark the end of the influential and beloved 'Inside the NBA' studio show, which started in 1989 and hired Charles Barkley in 2000. Barkley has been vocal about the potential loss of NBA rights and the show's future, emphasizing that the show's fate rests more in the hands of its cast than the outcome of the NBA's media rights negotiations. Barkley humorously noted, 'They’re not gonna call me. They know better,' indicating that no one from Warner Bros. Discovery has contacted him about his remarks.
