The only teams not to participate were the New Orleans Pelicans, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz.

Moreover, the NBA has stated these players would be forced to forfeit money for the missed games.

This is the sixth year of a nine-year deal with ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV.

[138] ABC began its NBA Saturday Primetime early with a special game airing on December 11.

On February 9, 2022, the Warriors–Jazz matchup televised on ESPN was the first in the network's history to have an all women production team.

Beth Mowins was the play-by-play commentator, with Doris Burke as analyst and Lisa Salters on the sideline; in addition, 33 other women handled production roles in Salt Lake City and in the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut.

In Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals, analyst Jeff Van Gundy was also out for the same reason, leaving Jones, Mark Jackson, and sideline reporter Lisa Salters; they were together the first all-African-American broadcast team for an NBA Finals game.
