Mike Breen won’t call Heat-Celtics Game 7 for ESPN due to COVID

Any huge buckets in Sunday’s big Warmth-Celtics Sport 7 will likely be lacking Mike Breen’s signature “bang” name.

Breen has examined constructive for COVID-19 and can miss the winner-take-all Jap Convention Finals recreation for ESPN. Mark Jones will deal with play-by-play duties in Breen’s place.

Breen “feels fantastic,” in response to The Publish’s Andrew Marchand, and the community hopes he’ll have the ability to name Sport 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday.

Whereas Jones can be the play-by-player for the Sacramento Kings, he has lived in South Florida and isn’t shy about his Warmth fandom.

“I’m admittedly a Miami Warmth homer,” Jones instructed the South Florida Solar Sentinel in 2020. “However on the air, I’m skilled and I’m unbiased and neutral. However I get pleasure from telling the tales of gamers who're a part of the Warmth group and the lineage of the Warmth group.”
