ESPN’s Doris Burke had been on the broadcasting team that called the NBA Finals for the past two years. She’s now reportedly been replaced on that call, though, by another NBA analyst with the network.

“NEWS: ESPN is demoting Hall of Famer Doris Burke off its NBA Finals team and promoting Tim Legler, The Athletic has learned,” Marchand posted this morning.
