According to the Atheltic’s Andrew Marchand, Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin were announced to join Taylor Rooks as part of Amazon’s NBA studio coverage.

Amazon and the NBA announced their 11-year partnership in July with games to begin streaming on Prime Video during the 2025-26 season.

Amazon will air 66 regular season games, all six SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament games and select playoff games in the first and second rounds.

Nowitzki played his entire 21-year career with the Dallas Mavericks, helping to lead the team to its first and only NBA Championship during the 2011 season, and was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023.
