昨天公鹿隊賽後發生場外事件，Patrick Beverley因女記者沒有訂閱他自己的podcast頻道，而不給他受訪，這件事情極其荒謬；而所有知名的記者也在都在聲援該名女記者，女記者為業界著名，以經有40年資歷的Malinda Adams。
Brian Windhorst寫到：「Malinda Adams恰好是ESPN最受尊敬和最專業的老員工之一。Beverley今晚你得為一些事情道歉。」
勇士記者Malika Andrews寫到：「Malinda Adams還是業內最優秀的人之一，一位完美的專業人士。更不用說她還是你見過最善良的人之一。」
著名記者Marc J. Spears寫到：「此前當著其他NBA球員的面在NBA復賽賽時期對Michele Roberts不敬，現在又這樣對待Malinda Adams。面對（Beverley）如此蠢，敬佩資深製作人Malinda Adams的職業精神。」
First the disrespect to Michele Roberts in the NBA Bubble in front of other NBA players and now this… He is who he is. Respect to stellar veteran producer Malinda Adams for her professionalism through that silliness. https://t.co/MLkHm2wfTQ

而身為大媒體的ESPN，當然不會放過Beverley，他在未來也不會以「來賓」身份登上ESPN的節目，等同算是被封殺。

Beverley refused to answer postgame questions from ESPN producer Malinda Adams because she wasn't subscribed to his podcast.

女記者則是在事後隔天，親自發文表示Beverley已經打過電話，親自向他道歉，同時公鹿球團也向他道歉。
I want to thank everyone for their kind words and support. I am humbled. Patrick Beverley just called me and apologized. I appreciate it and accept it. The Bucks also reached out to apologize. I've been in news for over 40 years and kindness and grace always win.
