What happens

The NBA on TBS is an American presentation of National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season and playoff game telecasts that aired on the American cable and satellite network TBS from October 10, 1984, to May 14, 2002. The games were produced by Turner Sports, the sports division of the Turner Broadcasting System subsidiary of Time Warner, TBS's corporate parent. TBS obtained rights to air NBA games beginning with the 1984–85 season (replacing the ESPN and USA Network as the NBA's national cable partners) in which TBS shared the NBA television package along with CBS. The 1989–90 season then saw Turner start to split the NBA cable package between TBS and TNT. TBS then lost its portion of the cable package to ESPN prior to the start of the 2002–03 season, with TNT following suit and losing their rights to NBC and Amazon prior to the start of the 2025–26 season.
