Written by SOURCE on August 25, 2021
Following controversial comments that leaked last month, Rachel Nichols has been removed from all of ESPN’s NBA programming.
Per Sports Business Journal, Nicholas has been taken off of NBA coverage and her weekday afternoon show The Jump will be cancelled. “We mutually agreed that this approach regarding our NBA coverage was best for all concerned,” said ESPN Senior VP of Production David Roberts. “Rachel is an excellent reporter, host and journalist, and we thank her for her many contributions to our NBA content.”
She is still under contract with ESPN, but the remaining episodes of The Jump set to air over the coming weeks will not be hosted by Nichols.
