“As we prepare to tip off our second season of NBA on Prime, we’re thrilled to present an exceptional lineup of games featuring the league’s biggest stars, iconic rivalries, and high-stakes matchups within the Emirates NBA Cup and expanded postseason coverage,” said Jay Marine, Global Head of Sports, Prime Video. “Building on the momentum of our inaugural season, we look forward to continuing to deliver our innovative coverage to the global community of Prime members, connecting fans with the game they love no matter where they are and bringing them closer to the action than ever before.”
