Charles Barkley takes leave of absence from TNT…
Written by The Go-To-Man Mattie T. on January 10, 2009
Due to his recent DUI arrest in Arizona, Charles Barkley will be taking the next several weeks off from appearing on TNT’s pre-game/halftime & Inside the NBA segments during their weekly games.
TNT’s in-studio coverage is anchored by Ernie Johnson Jr, Kenny “The Jet” Smith & Barkley.
Due to Magic Johnson leaving for ESPN over the off-season, TNT will now have to add another guest until Barkley returns.
Possible candidates could be former NBA star Chris Webber, or current TNT color commentator Reggie Miller.
We all wish Sir Charles the best & anticipate his return to TV in the near future.
