Shams Charania Joins ESPN as Senior NBA Insider

News summary

Shams Charania, a prominent NBA insider, has joined ESPN as its Senior NBA Insider, replacing the recently retired Adrian Wojnarowski, his former mentor at Yahoo Sports. Charania, who previously worked with The Athletic and Stadium, announced his move to ESPN after his contracts expired with his former employers. This transition marks a significant shift in the sports journalism landscape, as Charania steps into the role once held by Wojnarowski, with whom he shared a competitive rivalry. ESPN considered multiple candidates, including internal options and MLB insider Jeff Passan, before finalizing Charania's hiring. Charania's move to ESPN comes as the NBA season approaches, and he is expected to feature prominently on various ESPN shows and platforms. This hiring underscores ESPN's strategy to maintain its leadership in sports media by securing top talent following Wojnarowski's departure to become the general manager of St. Bonaventure University's basketball program.
