Courtside reporting is one of the coolest jobs in NBA media because a team's sideline reporter can travel with the team to road games and cover nearly every regular season game. They also do an important job interviewing players and coaches during games and giving fans behind-the-scenes access they wouldn't otherwise get.
Below, check out all the sideline reporters covering the NBA during the 2024-25 season.
