Both Marv Albert and Chris Webber may not return to TNT's NBA broadcast team next season, sources told Andrew Marchand of the New York Post. 


The 79-year-old Albert is currently in the final year of his five-year deal. Albert has hinted at retiring in the past, though no official decision has been reached.


The feeling that Webber may not return next season has been "building for awhile," according to Marchand. 


Webber informed network executives that he would not do the NCAA Tournament "very late," which was considered poor form.


If Albert does retire, TNT currently has Ian Eagle, Kevin Harlan, and Brian Anderson as play-by-play replacements. Anderson reportedly had the inside track to replace Albert, though the role is considered wide open.

I know that Marv has become a senile old man on broadcasts, but his voice will be sorely missed :cry:
