Former NBA player Chris Webber is leaving
Turner Sports before the NBA playoffs, multiple outlets reported
Friday.
Webber's expiring contract will not be renewed, and he has
worked his last game as an analyst for the network, which he
joined in 2008.
Reggie Miller sat alongside legendary play-by-play man Marv
Albert for the call of TNT's broadcast Thursday of the game
between the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers, and the two could
partner during the postseason. Albert and Webber had made up
TNT's top team this season.
He was scheduled to work during the NCAA Tournament but opted
out of joining the broadcast team in the bubble in Indiana.
Webber, 48, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1993 NBA Draft
after his college career at Michigan, where he was a member of
the "Fab Five." He played 15 seasons in the NBA with five teams
and was a five-time All-Star.
He averaged 20.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 831
career games.
