ESPN’s Malika Andrews sits down with Front Office Sports for a wide-ranging conversation about her expanding role at the network, from NBA Today to hosting the Australian Open.

She also gets candid about the secret behind her legendary player relationships, why sideline reporting still matters, and the Mike Tirico advice that changed how she approached the Australian Open.
