The Indiana Fever community, along with fans of Indiana basketball, is deeply saddened by the reported passing of longtime broadcaster Pat Boylan, a dedicated voice who brought passion, insight, and unwavering support to the team for over a decade.
Pat Boylan served as the play-by-play announcer for the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, where he called games with enthusiasm and professionalism. He also contributed to the Indiana Pacers organization in various broadcasting roles, including fill-in play-by-play, radio hosting, and sideline reporting. A Ball State graduate, Boylan was known for his rising talent in the industry as early as 2018, when profiles highlighted his bright future in sports media. He remained a key part of the Fever’s broadcast team in recent years, including through the 2025 season and into discussions around the 2025-26 timeline, covering memorable moments with players like Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and others.
According to circulating reports, Boylan tragically passed away at the age of 35 in a heartbreaking accident while returning home after what would be his final commentary session supporting the Fever. More than just an analyst, he embodied loyalty and unity for the fanbase—his commentary often defended the team during tough stretches, fostered a sense of family among supporters, and kept belief alive even in challenging times.
The Fever community mourns the loss of this devoted figure whose voice became synonymous with the team’s spirit. Tributes highlight how his passion never wavered, making games feel personal and connected for countless fans.
Gone far too soon, Pat Boylan’s legacy endures in the hearts of the Indiana Fever faithful and the broader basketball community he served so faithfully.
Rest in peace, Pat. Your calls, your energy, and your dedication will never be forgotten. 🕊️💙🧡
