Fever Revoke Reporter's Credentials Over Clark Injury Report
3 Jun
Summary
- Reporter Scott Agnes' credentials were revoked by the Indiana Fever.
- The team cited inaccurate reporting of Caitlin Clark's injury.
- Agnes' report linked Clark's absence to a strategic load management plan.
Freelance reporter Scott Agnes has had his credentials revoked by the Indiana Fever. This action was taken by the WNBA franchise after they took issue with Agnes' reporting on Caitlin Clark's recent injury.
Agnes had published that Clark's absence from a game on May 20th was part of a strategic load management plan. The team countered that this information was inaccurate and unsubstantiated, leading to the immediate revocation of his credentials for all team events.
The journalist, who has covered the Indiana Fever for ten years, stated his phrasing was related to the team's demanding schedule of four games within an eight-day period. Reports suggest the team approached Agnes shortly before the game to challenge his characterization of the situation.
This controversy follows other recent discussions surrounding Caitlin Clark, including a sideline conversation with coach Stephanie White during a loss to Portland. Both Clark and White have stated that the discussion was minor and that the press is often creating issues where none exist.
