NBA Today anchor Malika Andrews marries ESPN colleague in lavish wedding in San Francisco

ESPN television anchor Malika Andrews tied the knot with fellow NBA reporter Dave McMenamin in a basketball-reference-filled wedding in the Bay Area over the weekend.

Andrews, the host of “NBA Today,” and McMenamin, a longtime reporter who frequently appears on the show, tied the knot at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

The wedding took place at Cavallo Point Lodge, a luxurious national park resort with prime views of the famous bridge.

Guests were greeted at the reception by a flower-covered basketball hoop – a nod not only to their jobs, but also to how they met.

Andrews and McMenamin first met in 2017 when they were both assigned to cover a Knicks-Cavaliers game at Madison Square Garden.

“We were engaged for 21 months, so we had plenty of time to plan!” McMenamin told Vogue.

The couple, who have kept their relationship out of the public eye, said they wanted to have as much time as two NBA offseasons to plan their wedding.

“Before the wedding, Dave and I were constantly asked if we were stressed because the big day was approaching so quickly. And honestly, we never were,” said Andrews, who is from Cavallo Point.

Numerous colleagues at ESPN celebrated with the happy couple.

Richard Jefferson, a former NBA champion and current analyst for ESPN, was seen dancing to “Sweet Caroline” during the reception in a video posted on social media.

Other basketball references included McMenamin wearing Nike Kobe 6 Proto Mambacita Sweet 16 sneakers at the reception and music provided by Golden State Warriors DJ D Sharp.

“When you want something, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve it,” Andrews wrote on Instagram, adding photos from the couple’s wedding day.
