The Thunder and Fox Sports have found their new sideline reporter. They didn’t have to look far.

Okcthunder.com basketball writer Nick Gallo will be the sideline reporter for next season’s Thunder broadcasts on Fox Sports. Gallo takes over for Lesley McCaslin, who announced in April she was leaving her role as sideline reporter after seven years to spend more time with her family.

Gallo has done 154 games as a sideline reporter for Fox Sports since the 2015-16 season. He will continue his role writing for the Thunder, as well as producing video content with the Thunder’s broadcast and social media teams.
