TNT Sports matches Amazon Prime's $1.8billion NBA contract offer, league is in the 'process of reviewing it'

The NBA is 'reviewing' TNT Sports' $1.8billion media-rights offer, matching the deal it struck with Amazon Prime earlier this month. 

TNT Sports announced earlier Monday its intention to match one of the offers the NBA accepted, with the league confirming receipt of the contract.  

'We’ve received WBD’s proposal and are in the process of reviewing it,' an NBA spokesperson told DailyMail.com

The NBA does have a right to decline TNT's matching offer and stay with Amazon Prime

Representatives from TNT Sports have not immediately responded to a request for comment from DailyMail.com. 

The new media-rights deal with the NBA is set to begin next season and is slated to last 11 years. 

With TNT Sports matching the offer from Amazon Prime, fan-favorite pre-game show, 'Inside the NBA', which features basketball legends Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley, has a chance to last past this upcoming season.
