Luke Walton's attorney Mark Baute released a statement on Wednesday regarding recent sexual assault allegations made by former Spectrum SportsNet host Kelli Tennant.
"These claims are false and Luke’s innocence will be proven in court. Yesterday's press conference was a poorly staged attempt to portray the accuser as a viable spokesperson for an important movement," Baute said, per ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. "Her lawyers want to create a public circus to distract from their complete lack of evidence to support their outrageous claims. We will not try this case in the media or pay them a dime.
