One of the rising stars in NBA broadcasting earned a nice new gig Friday, as former Warriors sideline reporter Rosalyn Gold-Onwude announced she has been hired full-time by Turner Sports.
The latest
Gold-Onwude elaborated on her new position on the “Ball Girl Magic” podcast she co-hosts on Uninterrupted, explaining that she’ll work with the Inside the NBA crew Thursday nights and also do some hosting on NBATV. The job will require her to move from the Bay Area to Atlanta.
TNT’s sideline reporter position has been somewhat in flux ever since Craig Sager got sick, with David Aldridge working most games and a cast of others (including Gold-Onwude) filling in regularly. It’s unclear whether Turner intends for Gold-Onwude to take over that position entirely or if she’ll share the job with Aldridge et al. Regardless, any NBA fan who is not already familiar with Gold-Onwude’s work will be very soon.
