Jared McCain, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Dyson Daniels and Matas Buzelis will serve as player correspondents during the 2025 NBA Finals.
The NBA Player Correspondent Program, which gives players the opportunity to serve as media correspondents at events such as the NBA Draft, All-Star Weekend and NBA Finals, is back.
The four players who will provide on-the-ground coverage directly to NBA social and digital platforms this year are: the Philadelphia 76ers’ Jared McCain (Game 1), the Miami Heat’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. (Game 2), the Atlanta Hawks’ Dyson Daniels (Game 3) and the Chicago Bulls’ Matas Buzelis (Game 4). At each assigned game, the player correspondents will be on the ground giving inside access from Oklahoma City and Indiana, beginning with Wednesday’s NBA Finals Media Day.
The program’s goal is to help prepare players for the next stage of their careers when their playing days are over.
Notable past participants of the program include current and former NBA players:
- CJ McCollum
- Scottie Barnes
- Tyrese Maxey
