The NBA and Sacramento Kings announced that the investigation into head coach Luke Walton regarding improper behavior has been closed. The investigators determined that there was "not a sufficient basis to support the allegations made against Coach Walton."
The allegations of improper conduct were made by Kelli Tennant, who elected not to participate in the investigation, the league and team said. Tennant claimed Walton met her in a Santa Monica hotel room and "forced himself on her." Tennant reportedly "had a business relationship that went back several years [with Walton] and she wanted him to write a foreword.
