The Phoenix Suns’ game against the Utah Jazz on Friday will no longer be nationally televised on ESPN.
The game was originally slated to air on ESPN’s airwaves but now can only be watched locally on Arizona’s Family 3TV and Arizona’s Family Sports. Friday’s 8 p.m. tip can also be listened to on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.
ESPN announced it will instead televise the Los Angeles Lakers against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. Luka Doncic is expected to make his Lakers debut against the Pacers after he was traded by the Dallas Mavericks to the Lakers for Anthony Davis on Saturday.
On Friday after the Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76ers game ends, ESPN will go to SportsCenter.
Saturday’s men’s college basketball game between No. 6 Florida and No. 1 Auburn has been moved from ESPN to ESPN2 to accommodate Doncic’s debut.

Luka’s Lakers or the biggest “Big 3” bust of all-time?
I don’t blame ESPN one iota.
And who thought at the inception of the schedule creation that anyone wanted to see the jazz play
The Suns are a bad NBA product. Pay TV has to provide viewers a reason to watch.
