2006 NBA Summer Series on ABC and ESPN Schedule

The 30th anniversary season of the NBA: Summer Series place was held during the 2006 season. For the fourth straight year, ABC and ESPN teamed up to broadcast the games.

The Charlotte Bobcats left the Charlotte Coliseum in favor of Charlotte Bobcats Arena (later renamed Time Warner Cable Arena and its current name, the Spectrum Center). 

After the brutal devastation inflicted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the New Orleans Hornets temporarily relocated to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Their main home base was Ford Center (fun fact: the Oklahoma City Thunder moved here in 2009 following their move from Seattle), with select games at Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Oklahoma (on the campus of the University of Oklahoma), LSU's Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana & at the New Orleans Arena itself.

This season marked the last time that the Summer Series used regional coverage, before it was discontinued following the season (regional coverage would return in 2024).

This marked the last season of NBA: Summer Series games being produced (and aired) by ABC Sports before the rebrand to ESPN on ABC (and the transition to ESPN for the production, announcing talent, etc.) following the season.
