Shams Charnia is leaving The Athletic for ESPN

Shams Charnia is taking his talent to Bristol.

NBA News-Breaker has finalized a deal to move to ESPN, the Post has learned.

Charania, 30, succeeds his former mentor-rival Adrian Wojnarowski as the network's chief news-breaker and is the youngest chief news-breaker in ESPN history.

Wojnarowski retired from NBA coverage in September to become the general manager of his alma mater St. Bonaventure's men's basketball program.

Charania, 30, recently wrote for The Athletic and was an on-air talent on Stadium and FanDuel TV.

Previously, he wrote for Yahoo Sports.

Charania and ESPN did not immediately respond for comment.

Charnia had a big booster in Pat McAfee; The NBA reporter has been a frequent guest on the former NFL punter's eponymous show for years, and McAfee has publicly and privately lobbied ESPN brass to bring on Charania following Wojnarowski's stunning retirement.

Charnia has more than 3 million followers across social media channels.

Front Office Sports previously reported that Charnia and ESPN have had preliminary discussions.
