What happened: The Indiana Fever have revoked a beat writer's press credentials following his reporting on a Caitlin Clark injury, according to Defector. The move strips the reporter of in-arena access to the team and its star guard.

Why it matters: The dispute echoes the writer who says the Fever banned him over his Caitlin Clark injury coverage, raising questions about media access around the league's biggest draw. With Clark central to the Fever's national TV slate, any clamp on injury reporting carries outsized scrutiny.

What to watch: Watch whether the WNBA, the writers' association, or other outlets respond, and whether the Fever reinstate the credential or clarify their access policy.
