ESPN is laying off Zach Lowe according to a report from The Athletic's Andrew Marchand. The response to the report has been swift and unified as fans, viewers and media members have all been left scratching their heads in response to ESPN's latest personnel decision.
It's not just that Adrian Wojnarowki announced his retirement last week, it's that Lowe is widely regarded as one of the best basketball writers working in 2024. The news that ESPN is letting him go was met with shock, annoyance and pure wonder about what ESPN was thinking.
