ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski retires and takes over job at St. Bonaventure

ESPNStar NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski is retiring from the company, according to a post on his X-account on Wednesday morning.

The longtime sports reporter will accept a position at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure, and become general manager of the men's basketball program there, the university announced.

Wojnarowski often broke big news from the NBA world, so often that his breaking news reports on player transactions became popularly known as “Woj Bombs.” He and Shams Charania of The Athletic often vied for the latest headlines.

“I have known and admired Woj since we first worked together at Yahoo! in 2007. His work ethic is second to none,” ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro said in a statement. “He is extraordinarily talented and fearless. He has led the industry at ESPN and his dedication to the craft and his fans is legendary.”

The general manager position has become increasingly popular in college sports since the beginning of the “name, image and likeness” era, as athletic departments look for ways to help their programs and student-athletes navigate the new era of endorsement deals.
