Just In: Paul Pierce Expected To Have Joined Skipped…
In a contributing capacity, Paul Pierce “is likely joining FS1’s ‘Undisputed,'” according to Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post. The Post claims that the agreement is not official, and a FOX Sports representative declined to comment.
Due to Shannon Sharpe’s departure, “Undisputed” has changed from being a debate-style show to a panel discussion wherein Bayless is joined in conversation on current events. The show, which has suffered in the ratings since Sharpe left to host ESPN’s “First Take,” has included frequent contributors including Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Irvin, Richard Sherman, and Rachel Nichols.
Along with fellow former Celtic Kevin Garnett, Pierce co-hosts the podcast “Ticket & The Truth,” and he hasn’t been shy to express his opinions about the NBA’s present situation or his own place in the Hall of Fame.

Since being sacked by ESPN in 2021 for sharing a video of himself using marijuana at a party that appeared to include other NSFW content, the 46-year-old has not appeared on cable television. The MVP of the 2008 NBA Finals is still perplexed by his firing by the network, but he will have a chance to establish himself when he teams up with Bayless during the postseason.
