Former Spectrum Sportsnet reporter Kelli Tennant held a press conference on Tuesday in Los Angeles to address her accusations against Sacramento Kings head coach Luke Walton sexually assaulting her in 2014.
Tennant filed a lawsuit on Monday accusing Walton of assaulting her in a Santa Monica hotel room during his tenure as an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors. Walton worked as a Warriors assistant from 2014-2016.
Tennant knew Walton from when he covered the Lakers as a Sportsnet analyst. She asked him to write a foreword for a book she authored called The Transition: Every Athlete's Guide to Life After Sports.
