Top Stories Bob Costas, Doug Collins, Mike Fratello and more NBC voices reunite for Spurs-76ers game Tuesday Spurs-76ers will feature a throwback broadcast, bringing back notable NBC voices from the 1990s and early 2000s. Tim Reynolds | Associated Press February 27, 2026 12:44 AM Doug Collins (left), Bob Costas (right), and Mike Fratello will be on commentary for Spurs-76ers NBC matchup. Bob Costas, Doug Collins and Mike Fratello never all called a game together when they were teammates at NBC a quarter-century ago. That’ll change on Tuesday — in a throwback night for the network’s NBA coverage. NBC has announced plans for Costas, Collins and Fratello to handle the courtside duties Tuesday when Victor Wembanyama — who wasn’t even born when that trio was involved in NBC’s NBA coverage during the early 2000s — and the San Antonio Spurs take on Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers (8 ET, NBC/Peacock). Jim Gray will be the sideline reporter for that game, and NBC said it plans to incorporate “reminiscent and familiar components” from how games aired in the 1995-96 season, including the graphics package. Costas said he’s looking forward to the game — but being around NBC colleagues again, to him, will be the highlight. “With all due respect to Victor Wembanyama and to Joel Embiid and to both teams, it’s the reunion,” Costas said. “It’s being around all those people.” Also coming back from the past: the studio team. Hannah Storm, Isiah Thomas and P.J. Carlesimo will handle a throwback version of “NBA Showtime” starting at 7 ET, an hour before the game broadcast.
