With just days to go until the 2025-2026 NBA Season kicks off, ESPN is losing one of its high-profile in-studio analysts.
Bob Myers, the former Golden State Warriors General Manager who joined the Worldwide Leader in 2023, is stepping away from the network to become president of sports for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment.
