With even LeBron James tweeting, “#FreeWoj”, there is a timetable for the return of ESPN initiate Adrian Wojnarowski.
Wojnarowski’s suspension will be two weeks, The Post learned.
ESPN acted in response to Wojnarowski sending an email to Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) “F – k you” after Hawley sent a letter questioning NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and league relations with China.
ESPN has not officially recognized Wojnarowski’s working status, but will not be reporting until the end of the month.
ESPN has canceled Wojnarowski’s planned trip to Orlando, Florida, to report on the bubble this week. Wojnarowski’s email problem was revealed when Hawley tweeted about it on Friday. Wojnarowski could return on Saturday July 25, although it is unclear when ESPN started the timer in the two weeks.
The NBA is set to resume its season on July 30.
Wojnarowski has received support from the management of ESPN, who, according to sources, is still behind him. Wojnarowski and the current president of ESPN, Jimmy Pitaro, have a solid relationship, dating back to when they both worked at Yahoo.
