Sportradar and data analytics firm Second Spectrum are said to be close to a six-year, $250 million contract with the NBA, according to people familiar with the negotiations.
The deal includes a number of rights that includes selling official NBA data to betting houses, data analytics to teams and the development of a streaming product.
Sportradar has taken Mark Cuban, Michael Jordan and Ted Leonsis as investors in the past.
This will make Sportradar the official data partner for three of the four major U.S. sports leagues, including the National Hockey League and National Football League, which is also an investor. Stats Inc. has Major League Baseball’s data contract.
The NBA data contract had been held by Perform Group, which earlier this year announced a deal with FIBA, the governing body for international basketball, that runs through 2033.
