Malika Andrews loses audio during Mitchell Robinson update at NBA Finals

ESPN’s NBA Finals pregame show hit a rough patch before Game 1.During “Inside the NBA” before the Knicks faced the Spurs in San Antonio, the World Wide Leader’s Malika Andrews was derailed by audio issues while explaining Mitchell Robinson’s mysterious hand injury.The broadcast cut to footage of Robinson going through pregame work, showing the Knicks big man putting up a shot with his right hand taped, as Andrews began breaking down what a fracture of the fifth metacarpal actually means.There was just one problem: Viewers could not hear most of it.For roughly 20 seconds, Andrews appeared to point to her own hand while explaining where Robinson’s fracture occurred, but the audio dropped out and left the segment almost entirely silent.When the sound returned, the broadcast had already moved past part of the explanation, with host Ernie Johnson talking, instead, about how long it had been since the Knicks were in the Finals, creating an awkward start to ESPN’s coverage of the series opener.The mishap came during ESPN/ABC’s first NBA Finals broadcast since “Inside the NBA” personalities Charles Barkley, Kenny Anderson, Shaquille O’Neal, and Johnson were folded into the network’s coverage....
