Turner Sports’ Craig Sager will again work NBC Sports’ coverage of Olympic men’s basketball. In other news, NBC has picked a pair of Comcast SportsNet broadcasters for its Olympic women’s basketball coverage, and ESPN has re-signed football analyst Todd McShay.
Sager Working Olympic Sidelines For NBC
- NBC Sports announced Tuesday that Turner Sports broadcaster Craig Sager will again work as a sideline reporter for its coverage of Olympic men’s basketball. He will work alongside the returning Doug Collins and Turner colleague Marv Albert, who is calling Olympic basketball for the first time since 1996. Sager is by no means a newcomer to NBC’s Olympic coverage, having covered the basketball tournament dating back to Sydney in 2000, but the news is significant given the health issues that have caused him to miss several events over the past two years.
