WBD Takes NBA to Court Over Media-Rights Dispute With Amazon

The Warner Bros. Discovery–NBA battle has now formally reached the legal arena.

As increasingly expected, the TNT Sports parent company responded Friday, contesting the NBA’s rejection this week of its media-rights matching offer and subsequent deal with Amazon. The WBD lawsuit was filed under seal in the Supreme Court for the state of New York by the company’s attorneys from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP.
