Abby Chin (born 1982) is an American sports journalist.[1][2][3] She is a Boston Celtics basketball pregame and postgame reporter, as well as a court-side reporter. Chin also has covered major events for national networks, including the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang on NBC and NBA Summer League on NBA TV.[4] She actively fights for gender and ethnicity inclusion in sports and identifies as Asian American.[5]

Early life and education

Chin grew up in Denver, Colorado and studied broadcasting at the University of Colorado Boulder.[1] Following graduation in 2003, she worked as a production assistant at ESPN and later interned in Colorado sports radio and television.[1]

Career

For a time, Chin worked for local television stations in Alabama and then CSN Northwest in Portland, Oregon.[1] In January 2013, she began working as the Celtics court-side reporter, replacing Greg Dickerson.[1][6] At the end of the 2019-20 season, Chin was laid off from her role as sideline reporter, igniting an online petition with over 1600 signatures to re-hire her.[7] In 2020, she returned to Celtics media in a new role as play-by-play announcer.[3]

In March 2025, Chin was joined by sportswriter Jackie MacMullan and Connecticut Sun player Diamond DeShields for the second-ever all-female Celtics telecast in celebration of Women's History Month.[8]

Personal life

She is married to Mike Schmidt, a software engineer, and has two children, Mabel and Silas.[4][9]
