    Zach Lowe has been fired by ESPN in a stunning move

    Zach Lowe, ESPN’s lead NBA expert, was fired Thursday, according to The Athletic.

    It’s an amazing move because Lowe is considered one of the most respected NBA media members.

    Lowe, who started at ESPN in 2012 as a writer at Grantland under Bill Simmons, began covering the NBA full-time at Sports Illustrated in 2010. He was one of only two writers to move to ESPN after Grantland closed in 2015.

    “Zach Lowe is a senior writer for ESPN.com covering the ins and outs of the NBA – the transactions, Xs-and-Os and personal stories,” ESPN’s bio reads.

    Lowe has transitioned to appearing weekly on television in recent years, including on NBA Today and NBA Countdown. He also has one of the most informative podcasts in the entire league, The Lowe Post, and writes for ESPN.com.

    He reportedly earned more than $1 million and was the “biggest factor in ESPN’s decision,” according to sources who spoke to The Athletic.

    Lowe only posted links on Wednesday on his X account on his latest episode of The Lowe Post.

    He joins Adrian Wojnarowski as a major NBA talent loss for ESPN, less than a month before the season opener.

    Speculation quickly turned to where Lowe would end up, with Simmons’ The Ringer a popular guess.

    According to Lowe’s biography on ESPN, he started as a journalist in 2004, covering crime and courts for the Stamford Advocate newspaper in Stamford, Connecticut. He also covered the legal industry for the monthly legal magazine The American Lawyer before switching to sports.

    Lowe graduated from the Ivy League Dartmouth and lives in New York.
