Shams Charania is leaving The Athletic for ESPN

Shams Charania takes his talents to Bristol.

The NBA news breaker has agreed to a deal to move to ESPN, The Post has learned.

Charania, 30, replaces his former mentor and rival Adrian Wojnaroswki as the network’s top news breaker, and is the youngest top news breaker in ESPN 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, recently wrote for The Athletic and was an on-air talent at Stadium and FanDuel TV.

Before that, he wrote for Yahoo Sports.

Charania and ESPN did not immediately respond for comment.

Charania had a big booster in Pat McAfee; The NBA reporter has been a frequent guest on the former NFL gambler’s eponymous show over the years, and McAfee lobbied ESPN brass both publicly and privately to land Charania following Wojnarowski’s stunning retirement.

Charania has over 3 million followers on social media channels.

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