After previously getting the scoop that Chris Haynes was headed to Yahoo Sports and Sam Amick was leaving USA Today for the Athletic, Damian Lillard broke the news today that Jabari Young would be leaving the San Antonio News Express to cover the NBA for the Athletic:

Jabari covered the Blazers for Comcast Sports Northwest in 2014-15, but it is unknown if he is Lillard’s source in this scenario.
