What happened: The discipline followed Keaton's verbal confrontation with two fans during Tuesday's game. Seattle apologized Wednesday and said every fan deserves to feel welcome.

Why it matters: The sanction extends league discipline beyond players and coaches into club ownership. Fan treatment now sits at the center of the Seattle Storm's response.

By the numbers: The ban 10, Aug. 14, Aug. 16, Aug. 26 and Aug. 30.

What to watch: Seattle must enforce the attendance ban across those five games. Keaton would become eligible to return after the Aug. 30 home date.
