Adrian Wojnarowski refuted a report that he is set to leave The Vertical for ESPN by draft day (more on that here). An hour after the news broke, the reporter tweeted about The Vertical’s draft show on June 22, saying that the “whole gang,” will be there.
Excited to have Tom Crean returning to @TheVertical/@Yahoo live NBA Draft show June 22. Whole gang, including @DraftExpress, will be there.

This an obvious response to the report, could simply be a smokescreen. After reports spread over months, it would be a major surprise, at this point, if he didn’t leave for ESPN. However, he could be planning to leave after the draft. All we can do now is wait and see.
