Grant Hill will have even more to say about college basketball in the not-too-distant future.
The NBA star and part owner of the Atlanta Hawks will take on additional sportscasting duties as part of a new contract with Warner Bros. Discovery‘s TNT Sports. Hill will continue to be a lead game analyst on TNT Sports and CBS Sports’ collective coverage of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. but will begin to take part in coverage of Big East and Big 12 basketball, which Warner will begin telecasting during the 2025-26 season.
“College basketball has had such a profound impact on my life, as a student athlete and now as a broadcaster, and I thoroughly enjoy being closely connected to the collegiate game, the student athletes who compete, and their amazing stories,” said Hill, in a statement. “I’m thankful to TNT Sports for the opportunity to continue this journey together and look forward to what promises to be a fantastic Final Four weekend, among many more to come.”
Hill, known for his time playing basketball for Duke University as well as several NBA teams, has been with TNT Sports since 2013. On Monday, he will provide analysis for NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship — his tenth time doing so.
His extension comes as Warner Bros. Discovery appears to be making a pivot toward college sports. The company has been securing rights to a new portfolio of live events after having parted ways with the NBA following a decades-long relationship.
“A Hall of Famer in every sense, Grant has had a profound influence on the game at every level,” said Nate Smeltz, senior vice president, talent relations and global communications, TNT Sports, in a statement. “Grant has been a member of the TNT Sports family from the moment he decided to enter broadcasting, and we look forward to many more years together.”
Hill was a two-time NCAA basketball champion at Duke, and was inducted into the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2016 for his contributions to the program. He was a seven-time NBA All-Star and 19-year veteran with the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns and LA Clippers. He was NBA Co-Rookie of the Year in 1995 after being selected in the first round of the NBA Draft in 1994.
Hill was a member of the Gold Medal-winning Olympic men’s basketball team in 1996, and he has served as managing director of the USA Basketball Men’s National Team since 2021. Hill became a part owner of the Atlanta Hawks in 2015 and serves as the franchise’s vice chair of the board. He is also a part owner of the Baltimore Orioles, Orlando Pride and Orlando City SC.
