Reports: League reviewed, not investigating complaint against Storm assistant

The WNBA reviewed a complaint by the Las Vegas Aces' Jewell Loyd that a Seattle Storm assistant coach cursed at her during a game this season, but the league is not moving forward with a formal investigation, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.

Loyd is a former All-Star star guard for the Storm, which lost to the visiting Aces 75-70 on Sunday. Seattle also hosted Las Vegas on May 25 and won 102-82.

After last season, Loyd accused Storm coach Noelle Quinn and her staff of bullying and harassment regarding player performance, according to reports. After an independent investigator hired by the Storm didn't find evidence to support the complaint in December, Loyd requested a trade.

The Storm moved her to Las Vegas as part of a three-team trade on Feb. 1. She averaged 19.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals last season.

She is averaging 10.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals in six games (all starts) for the Aces. For her career, Loyd averages 16.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Loyd, 31, is a six-time All-Star, the 2015 Rookie of the Year and a two-time league champion with the Storm (2018, 2022). She was voted All-WNBA in 2016, 2021 and 2023.
