Fox Sports broadcaster Gus Johnson will call NBA playoff games for TNT this year, working alongside Greg Anthony on Raptors-Sixers Game 2 Monday night and Bulls-Bucks Game 2 on Wednesday. Johnson called some NBA Summer League games last season and has served as an occasional voice of the Milwaukee Bucks and previously the New York Knicks.

TNT regulars Brian Anderson, Kevin Harlan, Ian Eagle and Spero Dedes will fill out the roster.

In other play-by-play news, Beth Mowins will lead off ESPN’s NBA playoff coverage Saturday calling Jazz-Mavericks alongside Jeff Van Gundy — marking the first time a female play-by-play voice has called a national playoff telecast in the four major sports.

The Los Angeles Lakers are widely expected to trade Russell Westbrook this offseason. It's also expected that any deal involving Westbrook will bring back long-term salary to Los Angeles.

Despite being rumored to have interest in trading Westbrook to the Charlotte Hornets, it's unlikely the Lakers will take back Gordon Hayward in a deal. The Lakers are likely to prioritize players with cleaner injury histories, given the recent availability issues they've had with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Hayward has missed 71 games of 154 games in his first two seasons with the Hornets. He also missed considerable time with the Boston Celtics over the prior three seasons.
