Charles Barkley changes mind on retirement, reaffirms 'long-term commitment' to TNT Sports

Charles Barkley won't be retiring from broadcasting after the 2024-25 NBA season after all.

TNT Sports announced Tuesday the basketball Hall of Famer and "Inside the NBA" co-host has "reaffirmed his long-term commitment" to the network that will see him “exclusively contribute for many years to come.”

Barkley said during the NBA Finals in June that he would retire from broadcasting after the upcoming season.

“I love my TNT Sports family," Barkley said in a statement. "My #1 priority has been and always will be our people and keeping everyone together for as long as possible. We have the most amazing people, and they are the best at what they do. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with them both on the shows we currently have and new ones we develop together in the future. This is the only place for me. I have to say ... I’ve been impressed by the leadership team who is fighting hard and have been aggressive in adding new properties to TNT Sports, which I am very excited about. I appreciate them and all of my colleagues for their continued support, and most importantly our fans. I’m going to give my all as we keep them entertained for years to come.”
