    ESPN has signed three key NBA talents to long-term contract extensions, Front Office Sports has learned.

    The network has re-upped studio analyst Danny Green, NBA writer Tim Bontemps, and play-by-play announcer/sideline reporter Angel Gray. Bontemps was also promoted to senior writer.

    Several factors played into the extensions, say sources. First, ESPN wants to lengthen its NBA talent bench to make sure it covers The Association 365 days a year. Green, for example, will appear on a variety of shows, including SportsCenter, Get Up, First Take, and NBA Today. 

    Bontemps, meanwhile, will focus on two of the newsiest teams in the league: the defending champion Celtics and the 76ers. He will make regular TV appearances as well as provide exclusive content for ESPN+ subscribers. Gray will continue her unique hybrid role. She serves as a sideline reporter for NBA/WNBA coverage and as a play-by-play announcer for women’s college basketball.
