Rachel DeMita lands courtside commentator job with BIG3

The BIG3 has added a familiar face to basketball fans as Rachel DeMita will join coverage of the basketball league this coming season.

DeMita, formerly a host at 2K Sports, announced her arrival to the BIG3 on social media.

“This summer, I’m joining the BIG3,” DeMita said in her post. She clarified she wasn’t playing in the league, but rather that she will be their “courtside commentator,” a new position she said was created.

“It’s a little different than your traditional sideline reporter,” DeMita told Fox News Digital. “… We’re also going to make sure that there’s a fun spin to it. I also do a lot of content on social media and with the media landscape changing as much as it has over the past few years, just knowing what the basketball audience and the BIG3 audience wants to see and what’s going to excite them. What are some of the little questions that we can ask? What behind-the-scenes content can we give them that’s interesting to them, gets them more invested in the players and coaches and the culture of the league?”

The BIG3’s 2024 season begins Saturday in Oakland, California.
