Malika has become the new host of the NBA Finals for ESPN, according to The Post.
Andrews, 28, will succeed Mike Greenberg, who hosted the marquee show for the past two years.
In addition to the Andrews move, Mike Breen will be joined by Doris Burke and Doc Rivers on the lead play-by-play team after Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson were both let go.
Andrews will continue as the host of “NBA Today” as her impressive rise to power at the network moves to a new stage.
During the NBA bubble in 2020, she emerged as ESPN’s on-site reporter in Florida. She was first on the NBA Finals sideline, replacing Nichols, then she took Nichols’ daily NBA show hosting duties, and now she has Taylor’s lead “NBA Countdown” job after Greenberg.
On the game broadcasts, Lisa Salters will continue as the lead sideline reporter.
