2008 NBA Summer Series on ABC and ESPN Schedule

2008 marked the 32nd season of NBA: Summer Series franchise. ABC and ESPN joined forces to split coverage of the league's telecasts for the sixth straight season.

The New Orleans Hornets moved back to New Orleans full-time following two seasons of play in Oklahoma City (and other places) due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The Seattle SuperSonics played their 32nd and final season in the Summer Series before their move to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (becoming the Oklahoma City Thunder) the following season.

Also of note, play-by-play commentator Tamir Moore joins the ESPN/ABC Summer Series announcing roster this season. Moore (to my knowledge) becomes the first person with Autism to call Summer Series games. Moore would go on to call games every season from 2008 through 2022 (with the 2020 season being the exception due to a car accident).
