CLEVELAND -- ESPN Radio broadcaster and Basketball Hall of Famer Hubie Brown was injured shortly before Game 4 of the NBA Finals and was taken to a nearby hospital with an apparent knee injury.
The 84-year-old Brown was checked out by doctors in the arena and will not work the game between the Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors as an analyst.
"Hubie was injured when he bumped his knee on a table during pregame," ESPN said in a statement. "He's in good spirits and being treated by the medical staff on site. He hopes to return to the ESPN Radio booth if there is a Game 5."
Brown is a two-time NBA coach of the year and two-time Emmy nominee who is working the Finals for the 17th time as a radio and television analyst. His broadcasting career goes back to the 1980s, and he has been with ABC and ESPN since 2004.
