1/30 – ESPN Makes NBA Schedule Changes

ESPN has made a couple of adjustments to the schedule for the ongoing 2011-12* NBA regular season. The February 17 Mavericks/Sixers NBA regular season game has been moved to ESPN, replacing the previously scheduled Hornets/Knicks telecast. The game will be the first Sixers telecast of the abbreviated season on ESPN. In other news, the April 4 Thunder/Heat game has been shifted from ESPN to ESPN2 in order to make room for the Cardinals/Marlins Major League Baseball Opening Night game. Thunder/Heat was to be the first game of a double-header. The 10:30 PM ET Clippers/Lakers game will remain on ESPN, according to Sports Media Watch.
