A U.S. chapter decide blocked the Phoenix Suns and Mercury’s proposed new tv and streaming deal on Wednesday, deeming that the group violated the rights of its present associate Diamond Sports activities Group.
The Suns introduced in April that they might transfer their video games off cable and broadcast their video games on free over-the-air TV.Â
The decide dominated that the group couldn’t transfer on from its present contract with the at the moment bankrupt Diamond Sports activities Group. U.S. chapter legal guidelines defend debtors from having their contracts modified or terminated with out consent.
The decide didn’t award Diamond Sports activities Group financial penalties, although he didn’t rule it out at future hearings.Â
