It seems the game of musical chairs continues with ESPN’s staff. Shams Charania has announced he is now the brand’s NBA Insider following Adrian Wojnarowski’s exit.

As reported by Deadline, the popular basketball personality has taken his talents to the global sports network. On Monday, Oct. 7 he made the announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I am honored to join ESPN as the company’s Senior NBA Insider. I can’t wait to be part of an incredible group of colleagues at ESPN and serve the sports audience worldwide,” he wrote. This news comes on the heels of Adrian Wojnarowski’s recent departure from the brand after serving as an NBA reporter since 2017. Last month, the Bristol, Conn., native revealed he was retiring from journalism to take the general manager position of the men’s basketball team at St. Bonaventure University, his alma mater.

When asked about his replacement Woj made it clear that the position is a once in a lifetime opportunity. “I hope he has as fulfilling and as rewarding of a career as I’ve had,” he said. “And I certainly wish that for him and he’s right about the incredible group of colleagues that he is going to find at ESPN. For me that was always the best part of working at ESPN.”

2024 has been a bumpy year for ESPN with relation to employee turnover. Back in August, the network had a reorganization that resulted in several on air personalities being terminated. Some of the personnel who were impacted included Robert Griffin III, Sam Ponder, Zach Lowe and others. You can see Woj discuss Shams Charania below.
