Warner Bros. Discovery is considering matching the media rights package the NBA has agreed upon with Amazon.
The league is close to signing agreements with Disney, NBCUniversal and Amazon for three different packages of games.
WBD has up to five days to match a competing bid for the games it currently licenses from the NBA.
Amazon has reportedly offered $1.8 billion a year for a slate of games, while NBCUniversal has offered about $2.5 billion per year.
Warner Bros. Discovery is interested in a more affordable package of games given its gross debt of about $42 billion. David Zaslav has told colleagues he believes NBCUniversal is overspending for the NBA.
