Fact check: Did Dwight Howard Really Sign 10-Day Contract With Lakers? Exploring Viral Rumour
Dwight Howard has been part of various NBA teams including Los Angeles Lakers. But, now a new report surfaced on Dwight Howard signing a 10-day contract with the Lakers.
Social Media is trailblazing with the sound of Dwight Howard making his NBA return for none other than the Los Angeles Lakers. According to the rumors being surfaced online, Dwight Howard has signed a 10-day contract with the Lakers. But, with the contract being of 10 days many fans are unable to process and are unsure whether it is a fact or not.
Dwight Howard is a seasoned basketball player, who can help the Lakers who are facing injury problems with their key players in the season. But, is it true, is he signing with the Lakers? These are the two big questions. With so many parody accounts online, how will one differentiate between real and fake? So, first of all, Dwight Howard hasn’t signed any contract with the Lakers, and that too for 10 days.
A fake account of Adrian Wojnarowski created all the chaos. It was a fan account of ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, who is known to have credibility. The parody account posted, “BREAKING: Free agent Dwight Howard has agreed to a 10-day contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell ESPN”
These types of misleading posts create so many problems. Also, if ESPN were to report this fact they would have posted something online, but they reported nothing on Dwight Howard.
