In a continuation of the network’s layoffs, the senior writer joins the NFL personalities Robert Griffin III and Sam Ponder who were let go last month.
Sports Network Layoffs:
- The Athletic reports that ESPN has fired senior NBA writer Zach Lowe.
- Lowe had been with the sports network for 12 years, beginning with his longform site, Grantland, writing and appearing ESPN’s TV programs, and hosting the Lowe Post podcast.
- The move comes right as the network’s fiscal year is about to conclude at the end of September.
- According to the news source, Lowe’s over seven figure salary was the main factor in his dismissal.
- In addition to losing Lowe, ESPN’s NBA content is in a huge state of flux with the retirement of Adrian Wojnarowski.
- This comes off the heels of yesterday's layoffs, which saw The Walt Disney Company let go of approximately 300 employees.
- Both ESPN and Lowe have declined to comment on the situation.
