It's a Woj bomb many didn't see coming.
Adrian Wojnarowski, ESPN's senior NBA insider, announced he's leaving the sports network and taking up a new job elsewhere.
He's now set to become the general manager of St. Bonaventure University's men's basketball program.
Wojnarowski, known as Woj to fans, made the announcement in a post on Instagram on Wednesday morning.
"I grew up the son of a factory worker two miles from ESPN's campus and only ever dreamed of making a living as a sportswriter. Thirty-seven years ago, the Hartford Courant gave me my first byline and I never stopped chasing the thrill of it all," he wrote in his farewell statement.
He went on to explain how "this craft" transformed his life, but now he's decided to "retire from ESPN and the news industry."
"I understand the commitment required in my role and it's an investment that I'm no longer driven to make. Time isn't ain endless supply and I want to spend mine in ways that are more personally meaningful," he continued. "I leave with overwhelming gratitude for countless mentors and colleagues, subject and stories, readers and viewers. No one has benefitted more than me from the belief, trust and generosity of others."
Woj called "the past seven years at ESPN" a privilege.
"I'm appreciative of the company's of the company's leadership- especially Jimmy Pitaro and Cristina Daglas- for the understanding and acceptance of my decision to make a life change."
Woj is a St. Bonaventure alum and, according to ESPN, "has a strong relationship with the program," which includes being a fundraiser for the institution. He graduated from the university's Jandoli School of Communication.
"After all these years reporting on everyone's teams, I'm headed back to my own."
Prior to joining the sports powerhouse in 2017, Wojnarowski worked at Yahoo Sports and The Record of Bergen County.
