TNT Sports and Reggie Miller Reach Long-Term Extension
Pacers Icon & NBA Analyst to Continue Offering Insights & Analysis Across TNT Sports' Industry-Leading Multi-Platform Basketball Coverage
TNT Sports, a division of Warner Bros. Discovery, has announced a multiyear renewal agreement with Reggie Miller that will extend the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame member's contributions on TNT Sports' networks and platforms to more than 25 years.
"I've been lucky enough to have two constants in my adult life: 18 years with the Indiana Pacers and 19+ years with TNT Sports. Excited to be back and proud to be part of this amazing TEAM, let's keep chasing history together," said Miller.
"We're so fortunate to have Reggie as a part of our TNT Sports family," said Nate Smeltz, SVP, Talent Relations & Global Communications, TNT Sports. "There is no finer ambassador for the NBA and everything we bring with our coverage of the league, and we're thrilled to extend our relationship for many years to come."
Miller, who was also named to the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team in 2021, is amidst his 19th season with TNT Sports, serving as a game analyst for NBA on TNT's regular season, NBA All-Star, and NBA Playoffs coverage, through the Conference Finals. He has called more than 650 national NBA regular season and playoff games throughout his television broadcasting career - fifth all-time among color commentators - including 13 NBA Conference Finals. He will be calling his 17th NBA All-Star Game for TNT this Sunday, Feb. 18, at 8 p.m. ET from Indianapolis.
With NBA All-Star taking place in Indiana for the first time since 1985, TNT and Max's B/R Sports Add-On will also simulcast Indiana Glory this Saturday, Feb. 17, at 4:30 p.m., an hour-long NBA All-Star special featuring a rare and expansive sit-down conversation between three of the greatest players in NBA history with Indiana ties - Miller, native son Larry Bird and Hoosiers legend Isiah Thomas.
Before joining TNT Sports in 2005, Miller was one of the most prolific shooters in NBA history. He played his entire 18-year career with the Pacers (1987-2005), with his lethal three-point shooting helping the organization to become a perennial playoff threat. He retired with a then-NBA record 2,560 career three-pointers (now ranked 4th all-time). Miller was also the first Indiana Pacer to start in an NBA All-Star Game (1995), and was selected to the All-Star team in 1990, 1996, 1998 and 2000.
He was a member of the gold medal-winning Olympic men's basketball team in 1996 - alongside current TNT Sports colleagues Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Grant Hill - and Team USA for the 1994 and 2002 World Championships.
Miller attended UCLA and was selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 11th pick of the 1987 NBA Draft. Miller was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2012.
