ESPN has demoted basketball analyst Doris Burke from its NBA Finals broadcast team just months after she called her second NBA Finals.
In announcing its NBA broadcast plans for the upcoming season, ESPN said Thursday that Tim Legler would be joining its lead team of play-play-play announcer Mike Breen, analyst Richard Jefferson and reporter Lisa Salters. It also said that team would also be calling next June's NBA Finals on ABC, along with the conference finals and other high-profile games during the playoffs and regular season.
