NBA Makes Final Push To Dismiss TNT's Media Rights Lawsuit https://t.co/kIZfA9DPUr
The NBA has responded to Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) opposition to its motion to dismiss a lawsuit concerning media rights. The NBA argues that WBD's attempt to match Amazon's $1.93 billion bid did not meet the necessary requirements, as WBD made revisions to the terms instead of matching them exactly. The NBA has requested the New York Supreme Court to dismiss the lawsuit, asserting that WBD's redlined changes demonstrate a failure to adhere to the Matching Rights Agreement and New York law. All briefs have been filed, and a decision or scheduling of an oral argument is pending.
