"From Lansing to the league."
That's what ESPN host Malika Andrews said after the Orlando Magic drafted Jett Howard, the son of Michigan coach Juwan Howard, in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday night.
Howard, of course, played at Michigan, which is based in Ann Arbor, not Lansing. The Wolverines' rival, Michigan State, is housed in Lansing.
Oops.
That's a tough mistake.
ESPN's NBA Draft coverage has been taking some heat on social media throughout Thursday night's first round.
Many on social media have not been happy with the broadcast on ESPN.
Everyone makes mistakes, but this was an awkward one, considering the rivalry between Michigan and Michigan State.
The 2023 NBA Draft continues on ESPN.
