Indiana Fever deny sexual harassment allegation made by former player

The Indiana Fever have denied a sexual harassment allegation raised by Brianna Turner, who played for the team last season.

"We want to set the record straight," the Fever said in a Wednesday, Aug. 5 statement. "There was no allegation of sexual harassment, no players were directly involved, and we never sought to silence them. As we previously stated, protecting our players and employees and maintaining a respectful, professional workplace is our top priority. Our policy is to take concerns seriously, investigate thoroughly, and act promptly when appropriate to protect the people in our organization and ensure everyone is treated with professionalism and respect. Fostering trust and safety in that process also means we do not comment on personnel matters involving former employees."
