The Lakers’ rebuilding process may appear uncertain. But clarity emerged on another front.
The Lakers and KSPN-710AM reached an agreement that will extend their radio play-by-play partnership for two additional seasons up through 2021-22. John Ireland will continue as the Lakers’ radio play-by-play announced, while Mychal Thompson will remain as the color analyst.
Lakers president and part owner Jeanie Buss made the announcement on Tuesday as a guest on KSPN-710AM.
“ESPN and the ESPN brand are synonymous with excellence, and we’re proud to be affiliated with them,” Lakers Senior Vice President of Business Operations/COO Tim Harris said in a statement.
