Summary
Warner Bros. Discovery is considering matching offers for media rights to NBA games, but may focus on a potential package for Amazon. The company has matching rights secured in its previous deal with the NBA, but has not yet seen the potential packages. Warner Bros. Discovery is also considering other sports options if the cost of NBA rights is too high. CEO David Zaslav believes NBCUniversal is overpaying for NBA rights, and the company may focus on a package specifically designed for Amazon.
