The WNBA is reviewing a complaint filed by Jewell Loyd, alleging that an assistant coach for the Seattle Storm swore at her during a game earlier this season, according to The Seattle Times.
In a recent ESPN article, officials said the incident happened during the Seattle Storm’s 75-70 loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday at Climate Pledge Arena. A different league source confirmed that the complaint was filed by Loyd, who now plays for the Aces.
