NBA'S EXCLUSIVE TV RIGHTS TALKS WITH DISNEY, WARNER LIKELY TO END WITHOUT DEAL, CNBC REPORTS

(Reuters) -The National Basketball Association's exclusive media rights negotiating period with current partners Walt Disney and Warner Bros Discovery is likely to expire without a new deal on Monday, CNBC reported on Thursday.

NBA will be able to engage with new partners to show packages of games from the start of next week, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Amazon, Apple, YouTube TV, Comcast's NBCUniversal/Peacock and Netflix have all had preliminary talks with the league expressing potential interest, CNBC reported last year.

Disney and NBA declined to comment, while Warner Bros Discovery did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comments.
