The Indiana Fever<\/a> are facing new scrutiny after former player Brianna Turner accused the organization of firing a male staff member over sexual harassment allegations during her time with the team, weighing in after Sophie Cunningham’s comments on trans athletes.<\/p>\n

Turner, a Fever player in 2025 and now with the Las Vegas Aces<\/a>, made the allegations on X after Cunningham defended women’s sports for biological females during an ESPN interview.<\/p>\n

Cunningham said she wants to “protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”<\/p>\n

Turner barked at Cunningham’s claims, saying organizations like the Fever are a greater threat to the game than trans athletes. According to Turner, the Fever fired a male staff member after allegations of sexual harassment but instructed players not to discuss the matter publicly.<\/p>\n

She madly defended trans inclusion, pointing to former WNBA player Layshia Clarendon, who was born female before later identifying as transgender.<\/p>\n

“To date there’s been one out trans player in the league. They caused zero problems,” Turner wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Turner contrasted that with the alleged conduct of the fired staff member, adding, “That is an issue. Sexism, misogyny, homophobia, and racism are all issues.”<\/p>\n

The Indiana Fever released a statement Thursday in response to Turner’s claims.<\/p>\n

“Protecting our players and employees and maintaining a respectful, professional workplace is our top priority,” the Fever said.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

The team concluded, “Fostering trust and safety in that process means we do not comment on personnel matters involving former employees.”<\/p>\n

It remains unclear whether the WNBA will review Turner’s allegations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As of Thursday, the league had not announced an investigation or publicly commented.<\/p>\n
