Lawrence Tanter, whose distinctive voice has introduced Los Angeles Lakers lineups for four decades, is retiring after 40 years with the organization, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Tanter’s departure closes one of the NBA’s longest continuous runs behind a microphone. Over 40 seasons, he became a signature presence at Lakers home games, working through multiple championship eras and countless roster changes.
The team has not yet disclosed when Tanter will make his final appearance or who will succeed him at the public-address position.
Additional details about any planned tributes or farewell events were not immediately available.
