For the 2019–20 season, Stan Van Gundy joined the network as a color commentator. TNT also announced plans to reformat its Tuesday games, dropping the "Players Only" concept. The pre-game and halftime shows will have a larger focus on social media interaction, "culture", and "style", while Dwyane Wade, Candace Parker, Shaquille O'Neal, and Bleacher Report's Adam Lefkoe will serve as panelists. The new studio panel was originally intended to premiere with a doubleheader on January 28, 2020. However, due to the death of Kobe Bryant the previous Sunday (which led to the postponement of a Clippers-Lakers game scheduled to be televised as part of the doubleheader), the premiere was delayed to February 4, and the remaining game was instead preceded by a special edition of "Inside the NBA" from Staples Center, covering the aftermath of Bryant's death.
