Longtime ESPN Reporter Adrian ‘Woj’ Wojnarowski Reveals Prostate Cancer Diagnosis; Urges Men To Get Screened

Per the New York Daily News, former ESPN reporter Adrian “Woj” Wojnarowski revealed on Thursday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer several months before his sudden retirement from the network.

Adrian Wonjarowski, ESPN’s resident NBA insider, quit the high-paying job in September to become the general manager of the men’s basketball team at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure, in southwestern New York.

“Time isn’t in endless supply and I want to spend mine in ways that are more personally meaningful,” he wrote in his retirement announcement at the time.

On Thursday, he confirmed that statement was a reference to his health.

“That was about the cancer,” Adrian Wonjarowski told Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix.

He is now encouraging other men to get regular checkups and screenings.
