The Los Angeles Lakers organization has officially announced a new addition to their broadcast team for the upcoming G League season.
Will Iger, who is the son of the team’s recently appointed co-owner Bob Iger, has been hired to serve as the primary announcer for the South Bay Lakers.
The move comes as the team looks to bolster its media presence within the developmental league.
According to reports confirming the “Lakers hire Will Iger, son of new co-owner Bob Iger, as next G League announcer”, the decision was finalized earlier this week.
Will Iger brings a background in media production to the role, having previously worked on various digital projects before securing this position with the franchise.
The appointment has drawn attention due to his family connection to the ownership group, but the team maintains that the hiring process followed standard operational procedures for broadcast staffing.
The South Bay Lakers serve as a critical pipeline for the main roster, and the broadcast team plays a vital role in showcasing developing talent to the fanbase.
Fans and analysts are expected to monitor the transition as the team prepares for the start of the G League schedule.
The Lakers organization has not provided further comment regarding the specific terms of the contract or the length of the agreement.
As the team transitions into a new era of ownership and management, the integration of new personnel in the broadcast booth is seen as part of a broader effort to modernize the club’s media strategy.
Will Iger will begin his duties immediately as the team prepares for training camp and preseason activities.
The developmental league provides a unique platform for broadcasters to refine their skills while covering high-level professional basketball.
The Lakers remain focused on their long-term objectives both on and off the court as they navigate the complexities of the modern sports landscape.
The public will get their first look at the new broadcast team when the South Bay Lakers return to the court for their home opener later this year.
