What happened to the starters podcast?
The show has kept mostly the same format, with a few minor changes, most notably the removal of profanity. In 2019, The Starters joined The Athletic under the new name No Dunks, returning to a podcast-centred format. During this transition, Matt Osten left to pursue a writing career outside of the NBA sphere.
Why the starters get Cancelled?
The Post's report contained conflicting information on why NBA TV decided to move on from The Starters. One source claimed it was because of corporate-mandated cost cutting from AT&T, while another source (from Turner) claimed that the decision was made by Turner and the NBA and had nothing to do with AT&T.
