Love Island favourite Ovie Soko has been announced as part of Sky Sports’ NBA coverage for the coming season.
The broadcaster will show more than 170 live matches during the 2019-20 season, with 48 games being broadcast between 6pm and 11pm on Saturday and Sunday evenings to give UK fans greater opportunity to see their teams in action.
Soko, who finished third on the reality TV show with India Reynolds and has represented Great Britain during his basketball career, will be a regular guest for the channel’s new weekly NBA show presented by Jaydee Dyer.
The former Murcia player said of his new role: “I’m delighted to be joining Sky Sports. I’ve lived and breathed basketball since I was a child, and to be offered the opportunity to be part of the team delivering this sport to millions of fans was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.
“I can’t wait for the NBA season to get under way and offering my thoughts across Sky Sports platforms. This NBA season will be one of the best yet!”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
