The upcoming Summer Olympics basketball tournament will feature a familiar voice for Warriors fans.

NBC Sports Bay Area’s Bob Fitzgerald will handle 2024 Olympic basketball play-by-play duties, the Warriors announced Monday. The games will be broadcast by NBC Universal.

This summer’s games in Paris will be Fitzgerald’s sixth Olympics for NBC. He previously did play-by-play for basketball at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and 2012 London Olympics. He also called water polo in Beijing in 2008 in addition to responsibilities at the 2004 Athens Games and 1996 Atlanta Games.

Fitzgerald has worked as the play-by-play announcer on television for the Warriors for the past 27 years. He and color commentator Kelenna Azibukie finished dead last in Awful Announcing’s latest local NBA announcer rankings, but that did not sway NBC from having him cover the Olympics.

Fitzgerald isn’t the only Warriors-related name going to Paris: Steph Curry is playing in his first Olympics and Steve Kerr is serving as head coach of Team USA. The play-by-play announcer for the American’s games, though, will be Noah Eagle.

With Curry, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis and Devin Booker, Team USA is the prohibitive favorite to win gold. But Serbia — which is in the USA’s group — France and Canada should also boast formidable talent.

Paris 2024 is scheduled for July 26 through Aug. 11.
