Albert, who has been with TNT since 1999, will continue to call games for the cable network at least through 2016, which coincides with TNT's rights deal with the league.

Turner said Albert will also do broadcasts for NBA TV, the league's own cable network, beginning next season.

Albert's resume has also included play-by-play for boxing, the National Football League, the National Hockey League and college basketball for NBC, Madison Square Garden Network and Westwood One radio.
