DAZN will become the exclusive digital home of the MSG and YES networks this fall, in a breakthrough announcement Wednesday that is a likely precursor to deals with seven more NBA teams in the coming days and weeks. While paying undisclosed rights fees and sharing advertising revenue, DAZN will stream all non-national game broadcasts for MSG’s Knicks, Rangers, Islanders, Devils and Sabres and YES Network’s Yankees and Nets -- effectively a takeover of the entire Gotham Sports direct to consumer app. In addition, multiple NBA sources told SBJ that DAZN is close to acquiring full exclusive local broadcast rights next season for the T’Wolves, Cavaliers, Pacers, Spurs and Grizzlies, as well as DTC-only arrangements with the Magic and possibly the Hornets.

According to a copy of the lawsuit, Ball and Agape Property Management Group entered into an agreement in December 2020 for the NBA player to rent two swanky units in a fancy uptown Charlotte condominium complex.
