Charles Barkley is not retiring and he is not leaving **** Sports.

The star broadcaster and National Basketball Association Hall of Famer said Tuesday that he plans to stay with Warner Bros. Discovery’s **** Sports even if the company does not emerge with NBA media rights.

“I’m looking forward to continuing to work with [**** Sports] both on the shows we currently have and new ones we develop together in the future,” Barkley said in a statement. “This is the only place for me. I have to say … I’ve been impressed by the leadership team who is fighting hard and have been aggressive in adding new properties to **** Sports, which I am very excited about. I appreciate them and all of my colleagues for their continued support, and most importantly our fans. I’m going to give my all as we keep them entertained for years to come.” 

Barkley’s future has become hazy given the NBA’s potential move away from **** after next season.

Warner Bros. Discovery sued the NBA last month to forcibly invoke the company’s matching rights on a package of games earmarked to go to

’s games are for a streaming-only service. While Warner Bros. Discovery would stream the games on Max, it would also air them on ****.

**** Sports owns the media rights to numerous different sports, including Major League Baseball, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, the National Hockey League and the ******* States Soccer Federation. Beginning next year, the company will add NASCAR, The French Open and more than 65 regular-season Big East basketball games.

Warner Bros. Discovery will be the home of some college football playoff games beginning this year. Barkley will play a role in the coverage of some of the events.

“It’s fantastic to have Charles for this journey as we develop new content ideas and shows for our fans,” **** Sports Chairman and CEO Luis Silberwasser said in a statement.

Barkley is one of the stars of the popular NBA studio show “Inside the NBA,” which debuted after **** acquired NBA rights during the 1989-90 season. He said in June he planned to retire after next season as a broadcaster.

. “But I have made the decision myself that, no matter what happens, next year is going to be my last year on television.”

on “The Dan Patrick Show” in late July.

“Everything is on the table,” Barkley said of his future job opportunities.

Barkley signed a 10-year deal with **** Sports in 2022 and is entering his 25th year with the company. In May, Barkley said he had an opt-out clause in the contract in case **** lost NBA rights. That is incorrect, according to a person with knowledge of the contractual language. Barkley said last month his deal is worth $210 million over 10 years.

Barkley’s commitment to **** Sports likely closes the door on recreating “Inside the NBA” for another network if Warner Bros. Discovery does not emerge with a package of games as an outcome of its NBA lawsuit.
