The Portland Trail Blazers have parted ways with several members of their television and radio broadcast teams as part of new owner Tom Dundon’s latest round of cost-cutting measures, according to the New York Post.
The dismissals were reported on July 22, 2026, and mark the most visible move to date in Dundon’s effort to reduce expenses since taking control of the NBA franchise. The number of broadcasters affected and the specific roles eliminated were not disclosed.
The shake-up follows a series of belt-tightening steps instituted by Dundon across various departments. Team representatives did not immediately comment on the staffing changes, and the New York Post report did not identify any replacements.
This is not the first instance of personnel reductions under Dundon’s ownership, but it is the first to involve on-air talent directly connected to game coverage. Further details about the organization’s broadcasting plans for the upcoming season were not available.
