ATLANTA (CNN/SI) -- Turner Sports is expected to announce Monday that Marv
Albert will join Turner Sports this spring for some late season NBA games
and playoff telecasts on TNT and TBS Superstation.
The agreement also will have Albert working other sports events for Turner
Sports.
Madison Square Garden Network reported Sunday night that Albert will join
the national cable network in late March or early April. Albert will remain
as host of MSG's "Sportsdesk" during the week and is expected to continue
as the radio voice for New York Knicks home
games.
Albert is best known as NBC's lead NBA voice from 1990 through 1998, and
spent 20 years with the network before being fired in 1997 after pleading
guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge in Virginia.
