The Washington Wizards will have new voices calling the action next season on NBC Sports Washington.
The network is expected to hire Fox Sports announcer Justin Kutcher to replace long-time play-by-play announcer Steve Buckhantz, according to multiple reports.
In addition to Kutcher, NBC Sports Washington will also have former Wizards forwards Drew Gooden and Caron Butler serve as the team’s main analysts on an alternate basis — replacing Kara Lawson, who took a coaching job with the Boston Celtics this summer.
The Washington Post and The Athletic both reported the news.
Buckhantz departs the job after calling Wizards games for the last 22 years.
