ESPN to air D-League playoffs

Posted by on Mar 30, 2015 12:12

The ESPN family of networks will now be carrying the NBA’s D-League postseason for this year and the next as announced on Monday. That link has the full schedule that could feature up to 19 games including the Finals. The postseason for the D-League begins on April 7th and the Finals are slated to start April 23th. The games will be split between ESPNU and ESPNNews and if this goes well it could lead into the D-league getting more games on TV. And not just on NBA TV, but the bigger networks as well. It should be a good experiment and preview to see how the new TV deal might work when that contract runs out in the next few years.
