Longtime sports anchor Neil Everett is set to make his next stop as the Television Studio Host for the Portland Trail Blazers during their road games in 2021-22. As confirmed in an official team press release, Everett will serve as the anchor on ROOT Sports as part of the pre-game, post-game and halftime shows.
The move represents something of a homecoming for Everett, a Portland native. As noted in the press release, Everett attended both the University of Oregon and Willamette University. In a recent feature with NBA.com’s Blazers insider Casey Holdahl, Everett called the move a “natural progression of life” to return to his Pacific Northwest roots.
