Scott Agness, a veteran reporter covering Indiana basketball, disputes the Fever's revocation of his team access following an alleged inaccurate report regarding Caitlin Clark's status before a game against the Portland Fire on May 20. The Fever claimed Agness's report included "inaccurate and unsubstantiated" information. Agness insists he conveyed that there were "no new concerns" over Clark’s health, a point later echoed by the player herself. The situation escalated after Agness included a line about a "strategic management plan" regarding Clark's absence, which the Fever interpreted incorrectly. Agness has continued his coverage of the Fever despite losing his credentialed access, expressing disappointment over the team's lack of clarity.
