Shams Charania had to abruptly leave his segment on The Pat McAfee Show Tuesday afternoon. The ESPN NBA insider was in the middle of his regular spot when breaking news came in that he had to report, possibly seeking the same adrenaline rush he got from the Luka Doncic trade.
While McAfee was speaking, Charania quickly glanced down and said, “I got to go. I got to go, guys.”
This caught the attention of McAfee and his producers, who eagerly anticipated what major story Shams was about to share. Here’s the live TV moment that captured their reactions.
So, what was the big news? The Philadelphia 76ers had traded Caleb Martin to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Quentin Grimes and a second-round pick. Fortunately, ESPN had a graphic prepared.
Hopefully, the McAfee team was satisfied to learn that Shams left to tweet about Caleb Martin, who’s averaging nine points, four rebounds, and two assists per game this season.
