Shams Charania is leaving The Athletic for ESPN

Shams Charania brings his talents to Bristol.

The NBA newsbreaker has signed a deal with ESPN, The Post has learned.

Charania, 30, replaces his former mentor and rival Adrian Wojnaroswki as the network’s leading newsbreaker and is the youngest leading newsbreaker in ESPN’s history.

Wojnarowski retired from NBA coverage in September to become general manager of the men’s basketball program at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure.

Charania, 30, most recently wrote for The Athletic and was an on-air talent at Stadium and FanDuel TV.

He previously wrote for Yahoo Sports.

Charania and ESPN did not immediately respond for comment.

Charania had a major supporter in Pat McAfee; The NBA reporter has been a frequent guest on the former NFL player’s eponymous show over the years, and McAfee lobbied ESPN both publicly and privately to bring in Charania following Wojnarowski’s spectacular retirement.

Charania has over 3 million followers across all social media channels.

Front Office Sports previously reported that Charania and ESPN had held preliminary discussions.
