What happened: Celeste Keaton received the discipline following an incident involving teenage fans. Cunningham responded by saying biological girls and boys, trans women and trans men are welcome at her table.

Why it matters: The action puts the Seattle Storm's treatment of fans and oversight of ownership under scrutiny. Cunningham's remarks shift the focus toward inclusion after a controversy tied to XX-XY shirts.

By the numbers: Five games: Keaton's reported suspension length.

What to watch: The Storm's handling of the five-game absence and Cunningham's next appearance in Seattle bear watching.
