Brianna Turner, now with the Las Vegas Aces, posted on X that a former Indiana Fever employee was fired last season for sexual harassment and that players were told to stay silent. The Fever issued a statement saying protecting players and staff is a priority, but they would not comment on former‑employee matters. Turner’s comments came amid broader posts defending transgender athletes, where she noted only one trans player has been in the league and claimed the harassment case was a separate issue.

Former Fever guard Sophie Cunningham had also spoken out about trans athletes, emphasizing love and truth while protecting young girls in sport. The Fever’s response was a generic policy statement, avoiding specifics about the firing. The incident highlights tensions around workplace safety, player privacy, and the ongoing debate over transgender participation in women's ATA sports.
