“According to [longtime Indiana Pacers and Fever beat reporter Scott] Agness, the Fever notified him via email on May 21 that he would be barred from accessing team events because of a social media report they claim spread “inaccurate and unsubstantiated” information regarding Caitlin Clark’s health status for the season.
…
The report in question came on May 20, when Clark was ruled out 100 minutes before the Fever played the Portland Fire. According to Agness’ post on X, Clark’s unavailability was part of a strategic management plan for the season.
…
Clark’s first absence of the 2026 season drew heavy scrutiny after the Fever failed to list her on the team’s injury report despite her missing practice the day before their game against the Fire. The Fever also did not update the injury report at any point Wednesday even though Clark woke up with what White described as “some stiffness and some soreness.” The Fever were later given a warning by the WNBA for violating injury report protocol.
