ESPN has made a shakeup to its top NBA broadcast team.

Analyst Doris Burke has been demoted from the network’s No. 1 team, the same outfit that covers the NBA Finals, and has been replaced by Tim Legler, the outlet announced on Thursday, Aug. 28.

The Athletic first reported the news.

Legler will join play-by-play veteran Mike Breen and fellow analyst Richard Jefferson, who were Burke's partners on the broadcast in the previous two NBA Finals. Along with reporter Lisa Salters, will call the NBA Finals on ABC, the Conference Finals, high-profile first and second round games during the NBA Playoffs, a Christmas Day game and NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC.

Legler joined ESPN in 2000 and has been a game analyst on the network and on ESPN Radio and a frequent contributor to marquee programming like SportsCenter. Legler, 58, played 10 seasons in the NBA, from 1989-2000.
