Indiana Fever deny sexual harassment claim made by former player

The Indiana Fever have issued a statement denying any prior allegations of sexual harassment following comments from former player Brianna Turner. Turner claimed that sexual harassment led to the firing of a male staffer and asserted that players were discouraged from speaking out. The Fever's statement emphasized their commitment to maintaining a respectful workplace and asserted there had been no allegations before Turner’s comments on July 22. Turner defended her claims in a related nine-tweet thread. She was in Indianapolis with her current team, the Las Vegas Aces, for a game scheduled shortly after her comments.
