Adrian Wojnarowski, ESPN’s renowned NBA insider, announced his retirement from the company on Wednesday via his X account. Wojnarowski will be returning to his alma mater, St. Bonaventure, to take on the role of general manager for its men’s basketball program. Known for his “Woj bombs,” breaking major NBA news, he has been a dominant force in sports reporting alongside competitors like Shams Charania.

ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro praised Wojnarowski’s work ethic and fearless reporting, calling him a leader in the industry. As general manager, Wojnarowski will navigate the evolving landscape of college athletics, particularly in the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era, helping student-athletes manage endorsement deals.
