ESPN reporter Lisa Salters worked the sidelines during the Pacers' thrilling Game 1 win over the Thunder in the NBA Finals, but she will not be a part of the broadcast for Sunday's Game 2.
According to a report from Front Office Sports, Jorge Sedano — who works the sidelines as the reporter for ESPN's radio broadcast — will be the Game 2 reporter on ABC. Salters is missing the game due to a personal matter.
ESPN said in a statement:
“Lisa is attending to a personal matter. We send her our best."
Salters' partner and Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White also missed Saturday's game due to personal reasons.
