Adrian Wojnarowski leaving ESPN
Adrian Wojnarowski, one of ESPN's most recognizable journalists and personalities, is leaving the network, he said on Wednesday.
Wojnarowski, who has covered the NBA for the Disney-owned network for years, announced his departure on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, which he used to make a name for himself breaking news on trades and free agency deals around the league.
"Woj bombs," as they became known on the internet, were a staple of ESPN's NBA coverage, with Wojnarowski appearing on air more frequently in recent years to talk about his reporting.
Wojnarowski, who joined ESPN in 2017, is leaving the sports media business to become the general manager of the men's basketball team at St. Bonaventure, his alma mater, he told the network.
"I am hopeful that I can bring value in a lot of areas to our basketball program and open doors for our young men's futures in ways both professionally and personally," he said in a statement.
ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro in a statement of his own called Wojnarowski's work on the NBA beat for the network "legendary."
ESPN recently inked a portion of the rights package to show NBA games, joining major tech and media players like Amazon and Comcast as part of a multi-billion dollar deal running through 2035.
