PRIME VIDEO WELCOMES CJ MCCOLLUM TO "NBA ON PRIME" TEAM

Atlanta Hawks guard and 13-year NBA veteran named Player Contributor for the 2026-27 Season

CULVER CITY, Calif. - November 12, 2026 - Prime Video today announced that CJ McCollum, veteran guard for the Atlanta Hawks, will join NBA on Prime as a player contributor. In this role, McCollum will make select appearances in studio programming throughout the 2026-27 NBA season beginning tomorrow, November 13 in NBA Nightcap.

"My degree was in journalism, and I have been lucky to have hands on media experience throughout my NBA career," said McCollum. "So much has changed about how fans experience the game, and I'm excited to join Prime Video to share something only a player can: what's really going on in the locker room, on the floor, and in the league right now. I'm still a player first, but this was too good an opportunity to pass up."

Named the NBA's Most Improved Player in 2016, McCollum broke out as a dynamic scorer with the Portland Trail Blazers and helped lead the franchise to the 2019 Western Conference Finals. Over a career spanning more than a decade, McCollum has amassed over 16,000 points and maintained an average of 20 or more points per game for over 10 consecutive seasons - a testament to his elite consistency and basketball IQ. McCollum also served as President of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) from 2021-2025, further broadening his perspective on the game and giving him a vantage point few analysts have.

"We're thrilled to have CJ join NBA on Prime," said Amina Hussein, Prime Video Head of On-Air Talent and Development. "As a 13-year veteran and former NBPA president, he brings a unique insight that our viewers want to hear. His ability to connect with fans and give his perspective on a specific play, or the reason behind a certain outcome, makes him a perfect fit for our second season of NBA on Prime."

NBA on Prime continues Friday, November 13 with an Emirates NBA Cup doubleheader featuring the New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. ET followed by Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs at 9:30 p.m. Wraparound coverage begins 30 minutes before every game night with NBA on Prime Pregame live from Amazon MGM Studios in Culver City, followed by The Half at halftime. Each night culminates with NBA Nightcap, a one-hour postgame show.
