NBA draft: Best prospects, likely picks, rankings and needs

Netflix has expressed interest in a broadcast deal for the NBA In-Season Tournament. To this point, Netflix has stayed out of bidding for live sports rights, but could jump in with the NBA’s media rights deals up for negotiation in April.

The streaming platform reportedly has interest in building a docuseries around the In-Season Tournament, similar to the one they have produced for F1. The “Drive to Survive” series has been wildly popular and has introduced a whole new set of fans to the sport.

It’s unclear if the NBA will break out the In-Season Tournament separately from the rest of its schedule. It is expected the league will consider multiple broadcast partners, and splitting the In-Season Tournament to its own package, would indicate a desire to expand beyond the recent partners of ESPN and Turner Sports.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram is signing with Klutch Sports Group for his representation. Ingram was previously represented by Excel Sports Management.

Ingram is expected to be one of the top free agents available this coming offseason. The veteran forward has been unable to reach agreement on a contract extension with the Pelicans. Ingram remains extension-eligible until through June 30th of next year.

New Orleans has also looked to trade Ingram since last offseason. However, the Pelicans have been unable to find a trade that works for them, while also sending Ingram to a team he’d re-sign with.
