NBA Host Malika Andrews Is Married to an ESPN Reporter

ESPN's Malika Andrews is hosting the 2025 NBA Draft on Wednesday night, where Duke phenom Cooper Flagg is expected to be selected first by the Dallas Mavericks.

Andrews has become the face of ESPN's NBA coverage over the last few years, rising to a prominent role in the bubble where she interviewed stars and covered several games.

She recently worked as the host of the NBA Finals, chronicling the Oklahoma City Thunder's win over the Indiana Pacers.

Andrews isn't the only member of her family to work at ESPN. She's also joined by her sister Kendra, who works as a women's basketball reporter with the network.

Andrews' husband is also a reporter at ESPN - NBA reporter Dave Dave McMenamin.

McMenamin, much like Brian Windhorst, rose to prominence covering LeBron James. He first covered James in Cleveland before following the star to Los Angeles when he signed with the Lakers in 2018.

Andrews and McMenamin have kept their relationship private for the most part, but they have shared messages for one another on social media.

"Happy birthday to Malika Andrews," McMenamin said on Instagram earlier this year.

"You are simply incredible. Here’s to you as you turn the page on another year - and decade. I love you. (And as the last slide suggests, here’s to many more years of you laughing at my jokes)."

"I usually keep cheesy sentiments off the airwaves but everyone deserves to find a partner that makes them as happy as you make me. I love you, hon," Andrews responded.

The two basketball fans and journalists shared their love for the game during their wedding, as they presented their seating chart in the style of an NCAA Tournament bracket.

"It’s March Madness, and I haven’t shared a ton from our wedding but in the spirit of the tournament, I thought this would be fun for y’all to see: our seating chart… Or bracket," Andrews said in another social media post.

Fans can catch the NBA Draft - now a two-night event - on ABC and ESPN on Wednesday and Thursday night. Andrews will be leading the network's coverage of the event on both nights, joined by Kendrick Perkins, Andraya Carter and Jay Bilas.
