MALIKA Andrews made a hilarious slip-up during the NBA Draft on Wednesday night.
Fox host Colin Cowherd might have been surprised when he was announced as the No. 11 overall pick in the NBA Draft.

On Wednesday night, the Portland Trailblazers selected Cedric Coward out of Washington State.
However, when Andrews announced his name on ESPN, she got it mixed up with a fellow sports broadcaster.
“So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Cowherd here,” she said.
Cowherd, who is 61 years old, certainly wasn’t on anyone’s draft boards.
NBA fans got a big laugh out of Andrews’ error though, and shared on social media.
“Colin Cowherd in the draft? Wait, what?” one fan said.
“Hey LeBron. Colin Cowherd is here. We’re all good,” another fan said.
“ESPN Finals coverage: it was awful. ESPN NBA draft coverage: Hold my Beer,” a third fan said.
“Thought I was the only one who heard this lol,” a fourth fan said.
“She also called Brandon Ingram Brandon miller lol,” a fifth fan said.
Outside of Andrews’ slip-up, the NBA Draft mostly went off without a hitch.
Cooper Flagg was taken in his anticipated No. 1 overall spot by the Dallas Mavericks.
Dylan Harper was taken after him with the No. 2 overall pick by the San Antonio Spurs.
VJ Edgecomb went to the Philadelphia 76ers with the No. 3 overall pick.
Rutgers star Ace Bailey was anticipated to be a top-3 pick, but slid a bit after a rough pre-draft process.
He ended up getting drafted No. 5 overall by the Utah Jazz.
There were no major trades made throughout the night, not even by the Brooklyn Nets.
The Nets owned five first round picks and used all of them.
