Longtime TNT broadcaster Ernie Johnson has announced that the current season will be his last on the popular studio show "Inside the NBA," according to a report from Yahoo Sports.
Johnson, who has been a staple of TNT's NBA coverage for decades, made the revelation as the network continues its partnership with the league. The veteran host has anchored the Emmy Award-winning program alongside analysts Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith.
A photo from the 2023 NBA All-Star Game at Vivint Arena shows Johnson on stage with Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen during the All-Star draft selection process.
Johnson's departure marks the end of an era for one of sports television's most beloved studio shows, which has aired on TNT since 1989.
