An iconic voice is signing off at ESPN. After a remarkable 36-year run, legendary commentator Mark Jones will call his final game for the network this April, marking the end of an era for NBA and WNBA broadcasts.

Jones, who joined ESPN in 1990 and became one of its longest-tenured voices, is moving on from the "Worldwide Leader." According to a report from The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, his final broadcast will be on April 21.

For fans, Jones's voice has been a constant through decades of basketball history. While Mike Breen remains ESPN's lead NBA voice, Jones carved out a significant role, becoming a signature presence not just for game coverage but also for marquee events like the NBA Draft and Lottery.

His primary focus in recent years has been as the lead play-by-play announcer for the Sacramento Kings, a role he took on in 2020 and is expected to continue. This move suggests a shift toward a more team-centric broadcasting future for one of the sport's most respected voices.

In a statement, ESPN acknowledged his profound impact: "Mark has made an enduring impact at ESPN since 1990, serving as a signature voice primarily within our NBA and college football coverage... We’re grateful for Mark’s countless contributions." As the final buzzer sounds on his ESPN career, the basketball world will be listening for his next call.
