Early thinking within league circles suggests the NBA will seek a $75 billion rights package, up from its current $24 billion deal, which pays $2.6 billion per year. One person familiar with sports media deals said the NBA could get $70.2 billion over nine years, using metrics including total viewer hours, which helps networks determine the value of sports league rights. Should the NBA triple its rights and replicate its nine-year deal length, it would generate around $7 billion to $8 billion per season. The NBA also has a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Chinese-based company Tencent Holdings. The NBA has a good reason to seek more money for its rights.

Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner. Getty ImagesOn the eve of a new season, National Basketball Association Commissioner Adam Silver made clear his league would not jump the line to receive Covid-19 vaccines as the NBA attempts to normalize its business. The league elected to play a shortened 72-game season because of pandemic interruptions to its previous season, which ended in October instead of June like usual. The remaining task is managing a season where the Covid pandemic is worse than it was when the league resumed in July. Beyond this season, the league could help make up the difference by adding more teams, which brings expansion fees.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio slammed NBA teams this week for having access to coronavirus tests after four Brooklyn Nets players tested positive for COVID-19. The NBA indefinitely suspended its season on March 11 after Jazz star Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus. His Jazz teammate Donovan Mitchell and reportedly Pistons big man Christian Wood also tested positive. "Using the test results, we were able to take immediate precautions and strictly isolate the players who tested positive," she added. Kevin Durant, one of the league's biggest stars, said he was one of the Nets players who tested positive for the virus.

But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested.

(CNN) - NBA star Steph Curry suffered a broken hand in the Golden State Warriors' home defeat by the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night. With the Warriors trailing 83-54 in the third quarter, Curry fell awkwardly on his left hand as the Suns' 7-foot center Aron Baynes landed on top of him. Curry immediately grabbed his wrist and walked back to the locker room with 8:31 left in the third quarter. The 31-year-old underwent X-rays which confirmed a broken left hand, but there was no immediate word on a timeline for his return. It is the second successive season in which Curry has suffered an injury in the early weeks.

NBA Golden States Warriors star Kevin Durant announced on Sunday that he was signing with the Brooklyn Nets with a four-year contract worth up to $164 million, according to ESPN. And on June 25, Durant sold his $12.15 million Malibu, California beach house, according to Architectural Digest, just months after it was listed in April for $13.49 million (or $70,000 a month to lease). Durant reportedly paid $12.05 million for the house over a year ago. Take a look inside the three-level beach house via the Instagram slideshows embedded below. The 3,423-square-foot, four-bedroom and six-bathroom home is located on Broad Beach, according to Los Angeles Times.

They agreed to deals with superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving as part of a sensational start to free agency, giving the longtime No. They also added center DeAndre Jordan, who played with Durant and Irving on the 2016 U.S. Olympic team that won the gold medal, and veteran swingman Garrett Temple. They might have to wait a year, as Durant could miss next season while recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon. But with Irving taking controls of the offence and a promising young core around him, the Nets should be a playoff team, even while Durant recovers. The Nets got back to the playoffs last season after going 42-40, stamping themselves as a team on the rise.

Shares of MSG Networks, the cable network that broadcasts the New York Knicks, plunged in early trading Monday after the team missed out on signing superstar player Kevin Durant and other marquee NBA free agents. The decline came even as the rest of the stock market enjoyed a huge rally. At its low of the day of $19.05 a share, MSG Networks had lost $130 million in market value on Monday. MSG Networks broadcast the vast majority of Knicks games. That would represent a loss of about $25 million in market value for MSG Networks.

New York Knicks James Dolan has never made the team his number-one priority, much to the chagrin of the NBA team's exasperated fan base. MSG Spheres won't just house live concerts and other spectacles, they'll also be able to feature movies and media specifically for the arena. The Las Vegas MSG Sphere will have an interior giant movie screen of about 160,000 square feet, wrapping up, over and behind a stage. The idea is to make MSG Spheres the gold standard for modern venues. Kevin Durant, who won the 2017 NBA Finals MVP award with the Golden State Warriors, will not be playing for the New York Knicks next season.

The NBA player announced on Instagram Sunday night he would sign a contract with the Brooklyn Nets. Durant has made the All-NBA first team six times and joined the Golden State Warriors in free agency in 2016. The team nabbed two straight NBA championships and made it to the finals this year before losing to the Toronto Raptors. Durant tore his Achilles tendon during Game 5 of the 2019 Finals and is expected to miss the 2019-20 season. The 30-year-old previously shot down a $31.5 million player option on his contract with Golden State.

He will reportedly be joined by six-time NBA All Star Kyrie Irving, who will sign a four year $141 million deal with the Brooklyn Nets. Center DeAndre Jordan reportedly agreed to sign a deal with the Brooklyn Nets as well. Durant will miss the 2019-20 NBA season while recovering from a ruptured achilles tendon he suffered during Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals. Durant is a 10-time All Star, four-time scoring champion and a two-time NBA Champion with the Golden State Warriors.
