Reggie Miller will be NBC Sports’ lead game analyst when it begins its coverage of the NBA next season, the network announced Tuesday.

Miller has been one of TNT Sports lead NBA analysts for 20 years. He called his 18th All-Star Game this past weekend.

When Miller joins NBC in October, he is expected to call one or more games per week during the regular season and playoffs.

Coincidentally, some of the top moments in Miller’s 18-year playing career with the Indiana Pacers occurred on NBC, which carried NBA games from 1990 through 2002.

That included Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks when he scored eight points in a span of 9 seconds at Madison Square Garden to beat the New York Knicks.

“Some of my most memorable moments have been on NBC and I’m looking forward to creating more,” Miller said in a statement.

Miller — elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012 — also was selected to the NBA 75th Anniversary team.

NBC will have up to 100 regular-season games, including on Sunday night once the NFL season has ended. It will also have games on Tuesday throughout the regular season, while a Monday night doubleheader will be streamed on Peacock. NBC will have the All-Star Game and All-Star Saturday Night.

During the playoffs, NBC and/or Peacock will have up to 28 games the first two rounds, with at least half on NBC. It also will carry one of the two conference finals in six of the 11 years of the deal.

NBC previously announced that Mike Tirico will be the lead play-by-play announcer.

Djokovic upset at Qatar Open >> Novak Djokovic was upset by Matteo Berrettini 7-6 (4), 6-2 at the Qatar Open in the Serb’s first match since exiting the Australian Open with a hamstring injury.

The 37-year-old Djokovic, ranked No. 7, lost to the Italian for the first time in five career matches and will have to wait to join Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103) as the only players in the ATP Tour’s 100-win club.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion reached the Australian Open semifinals but retired from the last-four match against Alexander Zverev because of a hamstring injury.

Djokovic said he didn’t have “any pain or discomfort.”

“I was outplayed by just a better player today,” he said. ”I wasn’t at my desired level, and it could be that I’m still not moving the way I want to move, but ... I played without pain, so there is no excuse in that.”

Berrettini won for the 10th time in his career against a top-10 player and will face Tallon Griekspoor in the second round.

Also on Tuesday, No. 2 seed Alex de Minaur defeated Roman Safiullin 6-1, 7-5.

Raducanu loses to Muchova in Dubai >> Emma Raducanu lost in the second round at the Dubai Championships to Karolina Muchova 7-6 (6), 6-4.

The 2021 U.S. Open champion, who appeared to be in tears as she went to the umpire’s chair after the second game, fell behind 4-0 before Muchova prevailed 6-4.

The 14th-seeded Muchova will next face McCartney Kessler, who earned her first top-10 victory by beating third-ranked Coco Gauff 6-4, 7-5.

Gauff hadn’t fallen to an opponent ranked outside the top 50 since a loss to Sofia Kenin (128th) at Wimbledon in 2023. Kessler is ranked No. 53.

Earlier, second-seeded Iga Swiatek beat Victoria Azarenka 6-0, 6-2 and will next face Dayana Yastremska for a spot int the quarterfinals.

Top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka eliminated Veronia Kudermetova 6-3, 6-4, and defending champion Jasmine Paolini defeated Eva Lys 6-2, 7-5.

F1 launches its season with glitzy show >> Formula 1 kick-started its 75th anniversary season with music, glitz and glamor in London as the race series aims to reach beyond a sports audience with a two-hour televised arena show.

Lewis Hamilton arrived wearing a tie in Ferrari red for his biggest event yet since joining the Italian team, before the seven-time champion emerged to rousing cheers in a full race suit to present the team’s livery alongside teammate Charles Leclerc.

Asked to pick a word to describe his mood ahead of the new season, Hamilton picked “invigorated, because I feel so full of life and so much energy, because everything’s new.”

The F1 75 Live event at London’s O2 arena was the first time the sport hosted its own large-scale launch event, rather than leaving it to the individual teams.
