Bally Sports regional sports network will continue to broadcast the NBA games for the 2023-24 season.

The Diamond Sports Group, which owns Bally Sport, reached an agreement with the NBA that will allow Bally Sport to continue broadcasting the games.

However, the bankruptcy court still needs to approve this deal, as the Diamond Sports Group is on the verge of collapsing.

"We have reached an agreement with Diamond that, upon Court approval, will allow Diamond to continue distributing NBA games in its 15 markets for the 2023-24 season," an NBA spokesperson said in a statement for ESPN.

Bally Sports is responsible for broadcasting games of 15 NBA teams, including theAtlanta Hawks,Charlotte Hornets,Cleveland Cavaliers,Dallas Mavericks,Detroit Pistons,Indiana Pacers,Los Angeles Clippers,Miami Heat,Milwaukee Bucks,Minnesota Timberwolves,Memphis Grizzlies,New Orleans Pelicans,Oklahoma City Thunder,Orlando MagicandSan Antonio Spurs.

As part of the deal, all existing regional sports network deals teams have with Bally Sports will be set to expire at the end of this season, regardless of how long they were supposed to last.

However, if Diamond continues to operate in any market, the team in that market will have the option to extend its existing agreement for one more year, according to ESPN.
