The Sheryl Swoopes saga in the WNBA is starting to get sad.

Over the weekend, Swoopes did not call the Fever-Wings game and instead was replaced by Swoopes’ longtime friend and former coach Nancy Lieberman.

On Monday, Lieberman appeared on Stephen A. Smith’s show and revealed that Swoopes ended their friendship when she tried to tell her that she was wrong for going after Caitlin Clark.

“I called [Sheryl Swoopes] as a friend and I said “you can have your own opinion about anybody but you do have to get the stats right.”
“She got upset with me… and so our relationship is pretty much not happening at this point.”

An angry Swoopes blasted Lieberman on social media and confirmed she was cutting off her friend.

Earlier in the day, Swoopes released several text messages she sent to Clark in February privately apologizing for messing up some stats while talking about Clark’s NCAA record.

Swoopes insists that she does like Clark but hates Clark’s fans.
