Jason Benetti is joining NBC’s NBA play-by-play team, calling a limited number of regular-season and playoff games this season. Multiple reports say he will work between 10 and 20 NBA games for the network.
NBC’s role for Benetti is described as supplemental rather than a replacement. One outlet reports that Benetti will add to the existing NBC NBA announcing roster and does not take over for any current NBA voices. The move places Benetti alongside NBC’s broader sports coverage, where he is also known for television play-by-play work.
The coverage emphasizes the number of games and that his appointment expands NBC’s coverage without displacing other commentators.
