Loyd demands the action after complaining of bullying from the coaching staff and team announces no verification of complaints.
Seattle Storm All-Star guard Jewell Loyd has asked to be traded from the WNBA team.
The Storm provided ESPN with a statement regarding the results of the report.
“The Storm recently received internal allegations of potential workplace policy violations. The organization retained an outside investigator to conduct an impartial investigation into the allegations. The investigation has been completed, and there were no findings of policy violations or any discrimination, harassment, or bullying.”
Earlier this year, the team signed coveted free agents Skylar Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike. After Diggins-Smith signed, shortly after the Storm got Ogwumike to place her signature on a contract after playing for the Los Angeles Sparks, Diggins-Smith made it clear that she wanted to play alongside Loyd.
“I’m laser-focused for the upcoming season. Stepping onto the court alongside Jewell, benefiting from the leadership of Noelle Quinn, and feeling the energy of the Seattle Storm fans is a combination that I am confident will lead to success.”
