While there is life, there is hope. Spanish NBA fans are hopeful that Movistar+ will reach a last-minute agreement to broadcast games next season. Without Guillermo Giménez and Antoni Daimiel as narrator and commentator, many believe this competition makes no sense, but recent news talks about a possible agreement.

The media impact of Movistar+ losing NBA broadcasting rights has been so significant that all parties involved have been forced to negotiate. DAZN has faced backlash due to its acquisition of a substantial part of the American league, leading to logistical challenges and increased prices for accessing the necessary package to watch the competition, as well as the absence of the two iconic voices of the NBA in Spain: Guillermo Giménez and Antoni Daimiel.

The idea that neither of them would broadcast NBA games caused a stir and significant discontent within Movistar+. Employees leaked sensitive information to Voz Pópuli, which published an article that stirred controversy within the company. Executives seem to have realized the importance of these two voices and are negotiating with DAZN for the company to provide Movistar+ with two games per week, to be broadcasted by the two legendary figures. Furthermore, this would lead to the integration of DAZN games into the Movistar+ platform without the need to purchase an additional package.
