Bob Kravitz, a former sportswriter for the Indianapolis Star, reported that Gregg Doyel had been suspended for two weeks after being criticized for his interaction with WNBA No. 1 draft pick Caitlin Clark during her introductory news conference. Gannett spokesperson Lark-Marie Antón confirmed that Doyel will not be covering the Indiana Fever in person this season.
During the news conference, Doyel made an awkward gesture by forming a heart shape with his hands towards Clark, who usually does this gesture towards her family after games. This led to an uncomfortable exchange between the two. Despite apologizing on social media and in a column, admitting that his comments were wrong and offensive, he did not respond to requests for comment on the matter.
Gregg Doyel’s absence from covering the team is significant as it stems from a controversial incident at the news conference. However, it’s important to note that he has apologized sincerely for his behavior and acknowledged that he deeply regrets his words. The Fever are expected to be a major draw during the upcoming WNBA season, which is set to begin next week.
