The return of Luka Doncic In Dallas was expected, and he logically made a very good audience. ESPN, who was broadcasting the matchthus attracted 2.26 million viewers on average on the meeting, with a peak at 2.79 million, making it the most followed NBA match on the channel this season, excluding Christmas meetings.
And there were surely many more people in front of its small screen because the match was also broadcast by the regional channels in the Dallas region but also of Los Angeles.
We still remain far from other significant returns from recent periods, since the first match of LeBron James In Cleveland after his departure in Miami had attracted 7.1 million viewers on TNT in 2010, while his first return to Miami after his return to Cleveland had interested 9.3 million people on ABC in 2014. However, these two games passed on national channels, while ESPN is a cable channel.
The first return of Shaquille O’Neal In Los Angeles following his transfer to Miami remains the most watched regular season game since 1998, with 13.2 million viewers on ABC. But it was a Christmas match, which automatically inflates the audience.
As for the first match of Kevin Durant In Oklahoma City after departure to the Warriors, in 2017, he was watched by 6.0 million people on ABC.
