Doc Rivers returns to the broadcast booth, joining NBC as a game analyst ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. Rivers, a Hall of Fame coach and former NBA player, is taking on studio and/or on-air analyst responsibilities for the network’s NBA coverage.
The move follows earlier periods in which Rivers has worked in broadcasting. Yahoo Sports outlets describe his role as providing analysis during NBA games throughout the upcoming season. While coverage is brief, both sources present the appointment as a return to the booth and highlight Rivers’ experience as a championship-level coach rather than focusing on any specific broadcast lineup or schedule details.
