NextImg:ESPN lays off NBA reporter Zach Lowe over seven-figure salary

Another high-profile talent is out at ESPN.

Senior NBA writer Zach Lowe has been laid off by the network, The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reported.

Lowe had been with ESPN for more than a decade, having joined Bill Simmons’ Grantland vertical in 2012 after writing for Sports Illustrated.

Lowe was one of the few Grantland writers who made the transition over to ESPN when the vertical shuttered in 2015; NFL writer Bill Barnwell was another.

Lowe’s salary, more than $1 million a year, was the “biggest factor” in his dismissal from ESPN, according to The Athletic.

In addition to writing for ESPN, Lowe regularly appeared on “NBA Today”, the network’s daily NBA program, and hosted the popular “Lowe Post” podcast.

Lowe’s exit from ESPN follows the shocking layoffs of Robert Griffin III and Samantha Ponder, which happened last month, right before football season.

A silver lining for Lowe is that the timing lines up as NBC and Amazon are stocking up on NBA talents before their league rights agreements start in 2025 (Amazon’s package is presuming TNT’s lawsuit against the NBA is unsuccessful or settled).
