He signed a 10-year contract extension with TNT Sports in 2022.
ESPN/ABC, NBC and Amazon Prime Video were expected to try to court Barkley before Tuesday's announcement. “Inside the NBA” host Ernie Johnson has also said he intends to remain with TNT but the futures of Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith remain uncertain.
