A familiar voice will be on the call for Game 2 of the 2022 NBA Finals Sunday night.
ESPN NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy is set to return to the booth after missing Game 1 between the Warriors and Celtics after reportedly testing positive for COVID-19. Van Gundy will join Mark Jones and longtime broadcast partner Mark Jackson on the sidelines inside Chase Center, per ESPN communications director Ben Cafardo.
Hours before the series tipped off on Thursday, the New York Post reported Van Gundy and NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski would miss the contest after testing positive for the virus. However, the former NBA coach would later tell the New York Times he did not test positive for the virus, and received an inconclusive test result before registering two negatives.
