First reported by Tom Moore and then confirmed by Molly Sullivan French, Malik Rose’s vacant color commentator spot will be filled by Alaa Abdelnaby. A native of Egypt, Abdelnaby played college ball at Duke, was drafted 25th overall in the 1990 draft, and ended his NBA career playing 30 minutes over three games for the Sixers in 94-95.
Abdelnaby previously worked as a studio/game analyst for CBS Sports Network and Westwood One Radio, according to his Twitter account.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
