Has anyone heard if the Kings games in the upcoming Bubble Playoff will be broadcast as usual?

This is a trick question, right?
Because, of course they will be broadcast. It’s a primary income stream.
But “as usual”? I don’t know about that. First, Grant won’t be doing the play by play.
Second, I have to wonder if the NBA is going to take over the TV coverage for the remainder of the season and postseason - in the hopes of squeezing and maximizing big revenues?

No tricks, I do expect some form of Pay TV to watch these games over and above what I have been paying for an already premium service.

I suspect that since the Kings will want the money from the local TV contract, that things will be as usual.

Bingo. Regular season will local. They will fill the national TV games. The whole point of completing the season is to fulfill their TV contracts.

My league pass better count towards this.

My guess is ESPN, TNT and NBATV will air as many games as possible(because what else are they showing) but local channel contracts will still be fulfilled . Probably regional blackouts.
