Where they going, Chuck? 😂 Inside the NBA is heading to San Antonio to kick off the NBA Finals 🔥 https://t.co/j1acETPRG

What happened: ESPN says the Inside the NBA crew is traveling to San Antonio to open coverage of the NBA Finals. The studio show is slated to air at 7 PM ET before every Finals game, with postgame on ESPN, ABC and the ESPN App.

Why it matters: It marks the signature studio show working a Finals under its new home on ESPN and ABC rather than its longtime cable platform. The trip also underscores the spotlight on San Antonio's run to the Finals, with the city hosting the series opener.

What to watch: Watch for the crew's on-site debut around the Finals tip-off in San Antonio and how the broadcast splits between ESPN and ABC.
