Amazon Prime Video is closing in on a deal to make Kevin Harlan its No. 2 NBA play-by-player when it begins coverage of the league later this year.

Harlan is the second play-by-play announcer named for Amazon's upcoming NBA coverage after Ian Eagle recently signed a deal with the streaming service. The analysts for both Eagle and Harlan have not been named.

Amazon signed Griffin and Nowitzki to join host Taylor Rooks when the platform begins its NBA package later this calendar year. Amazon will start its 11-year, nearly $20 billion agreement with the NBA during the 2025-26 season. The Athletic ’s Richard Deitsch previously reported that Rooks would be the host.

Kevin Harlan is taking his NBA talents to Amazon. The longtime broadcaster is nearing a deal with the company to be “its No. 2 play-by-player when it begins NBA coverage later this year,” according to a report from The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand.
