When rumours spread about Malika Andrews and Dave McMenamin dating, Twitter went into a frenzy
They are two of the NBA’s most popular and well-known reporters. Dave McMenamin is an ESPN writer and television reporter who mostly covers the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers. Malika Andrew is an ESPN writer and NBA Today broadcaster who has taken over for The Jump.
NBA Reporters Malika Andrews And Dave McMenamin Said To Be Dating According To Reports
The claims appeared to be sparked by a photo of the couple together at an event. According to Getty Images/Emma McIntyre, the image is from the 2021 premiere of Netflix’s “Colin In Black And White.”

On May 22, internet rumours circulated that Malika Andrews and Dave McMenamin were dating, which sparked a stir on social media. The picture was tweeted by @LakeShowYo, who has around 234k followers, with the caption: ‘Nah, tell me this ain’t real.’ People are wondering if Malika Andrews and Dave McMenamin are actually boyfriend and girlfriend, given the intensity of the rumours.
The timing of this whole saga also appears suspicious, since ESPN announced on Wednesday, May 18, 2022, that NBA Today presenter Malika Andrews will host the network’s 2022 NBA draught on Thursday, June 23.
Andrews will be the first female host of the event, which will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Last will be Andrews’ first time hosting the draught, however, he did broadcast the NBA draught lottery for ESPN this week. Andrews made her debut NBA draught appearance as a broadcast reporter in 2020.
While neither side has verified or rejected the report, the two have never been romantically linked. That Twitter source is also rather questionable. @LakeShowYo, like some other well-followed NBA Twitter pages, has acquired a large following with sarcastic and parodical content that is typically amusing but not always factual. Because there have been no earlier reports of a relationship between them, we should take the rumours with a grain of salt but they could very well turn out to be true as well.
