He will also appear regularly on NBA TV's signature studio show, NBA GameTime.
NBA Twitter Live's coverage of NBA Opening Night on Tuesday, Oct. 18, will be Crawford's first appearance of the season. Crawford - one of the NBA's most active voices on Twitter - will also contribute to select games throughout the season.

FOX Sports Reveals Star-Studded Broadcast Team for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 FOX Sports, America's official English-language home for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 , today celebrates the fast-approaching start to the world's greatest sporting event with a picture-perfect unveiling of its world-class broadcast team anchoring the network's comprehensive tournament coverage. FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 begins on Sunday, Nov. 20 with a majority of the group stage matches featuring 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM ET start times through the FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday, Dec. 18.
Five incredibly unique announce teams comprise FOX Sports' roster of play-by-play commentators and match analysts calling matches at FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 . The dynamic John Strong and former U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) star Stu Holden anchor the lead broadcast booth for FOX Sports. The Strong-Holden pairing has called more than 250 soccer matches together since 2014 - more than any other English-language television duo - and will surpass the 300-match mark in Qatar. Veteran play-by-play announcer JP Dellacamera pairs with former USMNT legend Cobi Jones, while former U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT) sensation Aly Wagner partners with the distinguished Derek Rae. The Rae-Wagner pairing reunites in Qatar after successfully calling matches together for the men's tournament in 2018. In a serendipitous assignment, the venerable Ian Darke makes his FOX Sports play-by-play debut alongside USMNT icon Landon Donovan. In 2010, Darke captured the hearts of American soccer fans when he called Donovan's memorable injury-time goal for the U.S. against Algeria. Former England defender Warren Barton joins the esteemed Jacqui Oatley to round out the announcer pairings. Match assignments will be announced before the tournament begins.
Lead studio analyst Alexi Lalas, along with fellow U.S. soccer legends Clint Dempsey, Carli Lloyd and Maurice Edu, headline FOX Sports' list of former soccer stars providing expert insights at FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 . Two former goal-scoring machines for the England Women's National Team, Eni Aluko and Kelly Smith, join the studio analyst roster with their perspectives, while former NFL star Chad Johnson makes his FOX Sports debut as a contributing analyst.
Rob Stone returns as lead host for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 anchoring studio coverage throughout the tournament from the FOX Sports set in Doha, while acclaimed host Kate Abdo is back as lead host of FIFA WORLD CUP TONIGHT. Trusted reporters covering all the FIFA World Cup acti
