What happened: Brianna Turner said on social media that the Indiana Fever fired a male staffer last season over a sexual harassment incident. Turner, who played for Indiana last season and now plays for the Las Vegas Aces, said Fever players were encouraged not to discuss the firing. The Fever issued a statement in response to Turner's post, per ESPN's Annie Costabile.

Why it matters: The allegation puts Indiana's handling of workplace conduct under scrutiny just as Turner suits up against her former team as a division rival. The organization's response now becomes part of the public record on how it addressed the matter internally.

What to watch: Watch for the Fever's full statement and whether other current or former players corroborate Turner's account.
