Former Indiana Fever player Brianna Turner alleges that the team fired a male staff member for sexual harassment and then encouraged players to “keep quiet” about the matter. Turner, who played for Indiana during the 2023 WNBA season and now plays for the Las Vegas Aces, made the allegations in social media posts. According to the reports, Turner says she and her teammates were told not to discuss the firing after the staffer was removed. The claims include that the organization instructed players to remain silent or not speak publicly about what happened.
The Indiana Fever issued a statement after Turner’s comments, but the reports say the statement does not directly address or refute the specific allegations about urging silence. The coverage is based on Turner’s public account and the team’s response, with no additional confirmed details about the staff member, the exact circumstances, or internal communications described beyond Turner’s allegations.
