Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals not only marked an end to the New York Knicks' season with the Indiana Pacers securing a spot in the NBA Finals via a 125-108 win. It also marked the end of the NBA on TNT era.
TNT has broadcast NBA games for over 30 years, with the network first broadcasting professional basketball games in 1989. But the NBA negotiated a new media rights deal that will kick in starting with the 2025-26 season, and TNT is not included. Instead the NBA will be shown on ESPN, ABC, NBC, and Amazon Prime; the TNT age has come to a close.
