NBA to Offer Pay-Per-View Games Next Season

Ever wish you could watch an NBA game not offered on national television or in your local market?

Well beginning next season, you'll have the ability to purchase an NBA game by the game for $7, according to ESPN:

The league will announce Wednesday that, for the first time, fans can pay $6.99 to buy any NBA game next season. Fans will be able to watch the game on television if they have a carrier that gets NBA League Pass -- DirecTV, Dish, AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, Time Warner and Cox, among them -- or on broadband for computers, tablets and mobile devices.

It is not clear which distributors will participate in offering single games.

The à la carte age is upon us. Will other professional sports leagues follow suit?
