Skip Bayless caused a social media uproar after unwittingly boosting fake WNBA news.

The former First Take host tweeted late Sunday about a report that Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White had been fired and was being replaced by Iowa head coach Jan Jensen, the college coach of Fever star Caitlin Clark.

Bayless’s tweet came one day after White and Clark had a heated exchange on the bench during the Fever’s loss to the Portland Fire.

“No surprise: Stephanie White reportedly out after repeated in-game clashes with Caitlin Clark. Not saying White was wrong – but YOU CAN’T SHOW UP THE FACE OF THE LEAGUE ON CAMERA. Caitlin obviously wants a favorite of hers from Iowa, Jan Jensen. But no way Jensen can coach both,” Bayless tweeted.
