Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor This game may never start. The NBA moved Friday to shut down Warner Bros. Discovery’s ambitious legal effort to force the league to restore some portion of its media rights to the company.

In documents filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, the NBA sought dismissal of the case, alleging that Warner had in fact failed to match the terms of a package of games that have been earmarked for Amazon‘s Prime Video, detailing in a letter how the company, its former longtime sports-media ally, had tried to craft an alternate deal that did not in fact offer the same things that Amazon did.

Spokespersons for the NBA and Warner’s TNT Sports were not able to respond immediately to queries seeking comment. The NBA said in its filings that it intended to move for dismissal at an October 4 hearing in New York City.
