Minnesota Timberwolves add Kevin Calabro, Jon Sciambi as play-by-play announcers
The Minnesota Timberwolves are about to have one of the deepest and most accomplished bullpens of play-by-play broadcasters of any professional sports franchise.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have bolstered their broadcast team by adding two highly experienced announcers, Kevin Calabro and Jon "Boog" Sciambi. The team's longtime announcer, Michael Grady, now primarily covers national games for Amazon and NBC, leaving the Timberwolves to find replacements for his duties. Calabro has a storied career in the NBA, having spent over two decades as the play-by-play announcer for the Seattle SuperSonics and nearly a decade as the primary voice for the Portland Trailblazers.
He also called NBA games for ESPN Radio before leaving amid budget cuts from the team's new owner, Tom Dundon. Sciambi, while making his local NBA debut with the Timberwolves, boasts a wealth of national and regional experience, having covered MLB and college basketball games for ESPN and serving as the voice of the Chicago Cubs on Marquee Sports Network.
Radio announcer Alan Horton will call select games on television, and Meghan McPeak has joined the team as a sideline reporter after working with the Washington Wizards last season. While it's unclear which announcers will work how many games, the trio of Calabro, Sciambi, and Grady would undoubtedly compete with any other play-by-play team in the NBA or professional sports in general.
