There may still be life in 'Inside the NBA' yet as NBA commissioner Adam Silver revealed talks with TNT are still ongoing.
Earlier this week it emerged that the NBA was formalizing written contracts with ESPN, NBC and Amazon over new TV deals worth a combined $7.4billion per year.
According to Sports Business Journal, negotiations with all three companies were entering the 'final stage' in what was a massive blow for TNT and their long-running show 'Inside the NBA'.
The news upset fans of Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal, who are both analysts on TNT's popular show that, should these deals go through, will have its final run next season.
But it seems the NBA are still open to negotiations with TNT.

Outside of Thursday's White House state dinner in Washington D.C., Commissioner Silver said: 'We're all still talking. Who knows how it's going to work out?'
It was reported that ESPN will pay $2.8bn per year for the league's most prized set of games, including the NBA finals, a conference final, weekly primetime clashes and the WNBA.
NBC, meanwhile, is set to fork out $2.6bn annually for the 'B' package, which would likely include a show called 'Basketball Night in America', airing on Sunday evenings after the NFL season.
According to SBJ, NBC would also secure a conference semifinals, a conference final and two primetime slots per week.
Amazon's deal - said to be worth up to $2bn - would come with the In-Season Tournaments, first-round playoff games and the WNBA.

Only last week, NBA legend O'Neal said he was 'very confident' that 'Inside the NBA' would remain on TNT next season.
The beloved studio show features O'Neal, Barkley, Kenny Smith and host Ernie Johnson.
'I don't know (about the show's future), but hopefully (Warner Bros. Discovery CEO) David Zaslav will take care of business, I'm sure he will,' he said.
'I think we're in a great spot right now.'
Barkley was a little less certain, adding: 'It'd be sad (if the show ended). We don't know... I hope it does (continue). Not just for me and Kenny, Ernie, and Shaq, but for the real people who work there, it sucks right now to be stressful.'
