The sports columnist who had a creepy exchange with basketball star Caitlin Clark has been suspended for two weeks and will not cover any of Clark’s WNBA games in person this season.

Indianapolis Star sports columnist Gregg Doyel is in the midst of serving his two weeks, according to Bob Kravitz, the longtime former IndyStar sports columnist who broke the news on Substack. Kravitz added Doyel “will not attend any Fever games this summer but will continue to write columns off the team by watching TV from his home.”

Lark-Marie Antón — chief communications officer for Gannett, which owns the IndyStar — said in a statement to Poynter that Gannett doesn’t comment on personnel matters or actions, but did add, “Indianapolis Star sports columnist Gregg Doyel will not be covering the Indiana Fever.”
