ESPNNBA star insider Adrian Wojnarowski is retiring from the company, a message posted on his X account Wednesday morning.
The longtime sportswriter will take a job at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure, and become general manager of the school’s men’s basketball program, the university said.
Wojnarowski often breaks big news in the NBA world, so frequently that his breaking news reports on player trades are colloquially known as “Woj bombs.” He and The Athletic’s Shams Charania often compete for the scoop on the latest news.
“I have known and admired Wojnarowski since we first worked together at Yahoo in 2007. His work ethic is second to none,” ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro said in a statement. “He is talented and fearless. ESPN is a leader in the industry and his dedication to the technology and to the fans is legendary.”
Since the introduction of the name, image and likeness era, the general manager position has become increasingly popular in college sports as athletic departments look for ways to help their programs and student-athletes navigate the new era where endorsement deals can be signed .
