When does NBA on CBS return?

CBS aired NBA games from the 1973–74 NBA season (when it succeeded ABC Sports as the national broadcaster of the NBA) until the 1989–90 NBA season. Pat Summerall served as the CBS analyst on some ABA games alongside Don Criqui on play-by-play. CBS was accused of mishandling their NBA telecasts in the early 1970s. ABC filled the void left by counterprogramming Wide World of Sports on Sundays against CBS' NBA coverage.
