Steve Nash, a two-time Kia NBA MVP, will be expanding his role with Turner Sports, joining NBA on TNT as a contributor and evolving his season-long presence on B/R Football’s UEFA Champions League coverage.

As part of his new NBA on TNT responsibilities, Nash will appear within the network’s Tuesday night coverage, providing standalone studio segments encompassing off-the-court features, player profiles and more.

The eight-time NBA All-Star will also make appearances at select NBA on TNT marquee events.

Nash’s UEFA Champions League presence will build on his unbridled passion for the game. The lifelong soccer fan will be featured in live and taped appearances throughout the UEFA Champions League season.

The original content packages will range from him interacting with a variety of special guests outside the studio setting, as well as B/R Football commentators.

“I really enjoyed my first year with Turner Sports and B/R Football,” said Nash. “Now, adding the NBA on TNT feels like a natural evolution, and I’m excited to dive deeper into storytelling across both these two hugely popular global sports.”

“Steve Nash has proven to be a talented and charismatic contributor on and off the set,” said Craig Barry, Chief Content Officer, Turner Sports. “His ability to connect with players and fans in an organic setting has been extremely additive to our coverage. This expanded role will provide additional ways for us to capture more of those moments and showcase his unique abilities.”

“We’re equally thrilled to broaden Steve’s visibility throughout our NBA portfolio with integrations during our NBA on TNT Tuesday night coverage and appearances at other tentpole events.”
