Cheryl Miller will join NBC Sports as a WNBA studio analyst when the league returns to NBC and debuts on Peacock this May.
Miller, a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, is highly revered as one of the greatest players in women’s basketball history. She is a two-time NCAA Champion and Most Outstanding Player, three-time Naismith College Player of the Year, and former WNBA head coach, general manager, and collegiate head coach.
“Cheryl Miller is synonymous with excellence in women’s basketball,” said Senior Vice President and WNBA Coordinating Producer of NBC Sports Betsy Riley. “Her impact on the game spans generations, and her ability to connect history, strategy, and today’s stars is unmatched. As we welcome the WNBA back to NBC Sports, Cheryl’s voice will be central to how we tell the story of this league and showcase the incredible level of play our viewers will see all season.”
