Charles Barkley Has Ended Discussions with LIV And Will Stay At TNT

We were aware that retirement is around the corner for Charles Barkley, who had previously stated that he doesn’t think he’ll re-sign with TNT once his contract expires in two years.

But in this offseason, there were some major doubts of Barkley even returning to NBA on TNT broadcasts this year, after he received an offer from LIV Golf.

LIV is a professional golf tour financed by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia attracted players with record prize money. Apparently there’s also a lot of money in play for broadcasters.

Now, Charles Barkley has told The Post, that he has ended discussions with LIV and he will stay at TNT for the rest of his TV career. 

“I want to thank Greg Norman and LIV for their interest in me. I wish those guys great success and nothing but the best. But, in my best interest, and being fair to Turner — because Turner and basketball have given me every single thing in my life. It is best for me to move on and I’m staying with Turner for the rest of my TV career.”
