NBC Sports Boston unveiled their new lineup for Celtics broadcasts for the upcoming 2023-24 season and it features a new name for Celtics fans. The network will be bringing aboard Drew Carter to call preseason and road regular season games before moving to a full-time role in 2025.

Brian Scalabrine will remain as the team’s color analyst while Abby Chin will continue as the team’s sideline reporter. Chris Forsberg, Eddie House and Amina Smith will lead the network’s studio coverage.
“Mike’s contributions over 43 Hall-of-Fame seasons will be unmatched and we are excited to give fans multiple opportunities to see some of the best moments from his storied career,” said Kevin Miller, vice president of content for NBC Sports Boston in a press release. “We’re also thrilled to add Drew to the NBC Sports Boston family and our Celtics coverage. Drew is one of the industry’s rising play-by-play voices and has had the opportunity to call numerous sports across multiple platforms. He has a great understanding of the role he’s stepping into and we’re excited for Celtics fans to get know him.”

Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell will remain on the radio call for several more seasons as both recently reached contract extensions per team sources.
Carter has called a number of different sports for ESPN since 2021 after graduating from Syracuse in 2019. Fans may have heard him on the special “Toy Story” broadcast of the Falcons-Jaguars game last week.
The Celtics and NBC Sports Boston have announced they will also be holding many tributes to Gorman throughout his final season, his 43rd calling the team’s games.
“Mike truly has made an incredible impact as the voice of the Boston Celtics during his amazing 43 year broadcast career covering the team,” said Chris Wayland, president and general manager of NBC Sports Boston. “We look forward to a season of celebrating and honoring Mike and making his ‘farewell’ as memorable as his career has been. He will certainly be missed but he will always be a part of the NBC Sports Boston and Celtics family.”
The Celtics will kick off their preseason schedule on Sunday with a home tilt against the 76ers.
