In an Instagram post on July 17, Rooks announced her departure from Bleacher Report and TNT Sports. She posted several photos and wrote, in part:

"END OF AN ERA 🏆 After seven beautiful, wild, growth-filled years, my time with TNT Sports and Bleacher Report is coming to an end — and where to begin…. Just look at all the fun we had. The questions. The viral clips. The moments that meant something. I loved looking back at all the conversations we created. The best times of my career."

Rooks is still part of Amazon Prime's NFL coverage. The Athletic's Richard Deitsch reported in December that Rooks will be the lead host of Amazon's upcoming NBA studio coverage, which includes pregame, halftime and postgame shows. The streaming giant will begin its NBA broadcast in 2025-26 as part of the 11-year, $20 billion deal for the NBA and WNBA.
