Some Insane Verified Twitter User Changed His Name to Adrian Wojnarowski and Reported Fake News
By Parker White
The first day of NBA free agency is total insanity, and if you're a basketball fan you're going to tirelessly scroll through your Twitter timeline to see what news Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania have to deliver in real time.
But be careful to not get duped by the fake accounts. While most are on their toes, this guy nearly tricked everyone.
Someone with a verified account decided to have a good time and change his name to "Adrian Wojnarowski," and report Kawhi Leonard was signing with the Los Angeles Lakers to freak out every NBA fan.

There's a great chance that Leonard ends up signing with the Lakers on a max deal, but for those wondering if this is true, it's not.
If you look closely, his account is @TheTrackMamba, not @wojespn.
There’s no protocol for this. Everyone head to your bunkers and turn real Woj notifications on. It’s our only hope ? ?

This is a beyond irresponsible act and there's a good chance Twitter disciplines him for it. Can't be sending out fake news during the onset of NBA free agency. That might as well be a felony.
