The program will air at 3:30 PM EST Monday through Friday for 30 minutes and feature current and former NBA players, as well as ESPN analysts, reporters and insiders.

“We are so excited to get Rachel back at ESPN in an expanded role,” said Marie Donoghue, executive vice president of global strategy and original content at ESPN in a prepared statement.  “Our mission in content development relies on smart, original voices like Rachel; her credibility, integrity and intelligence shine through in everything she does.”
