The reason is pretty simple, the show’s co-hosts went on vacation, causing the schedule to shake up a bit. It’s quite normal for talk shows like Skip and Shannon: Undisputed and First Take to take a break after an All-Star Weekend.
The reason behind this is that the NFL season ended on February 13, 2022. This season, Super Bowl LVII was won by American Football Conference champion Kansas City Chiefs, and there was not any NBA game for the next ten days. The next NBA game happened on 23 February 2023.
