The Seattle Storm once again find themselves in trouble. Former player Jewell Loyd has reportedly filed a complaint alleging a Storm assistant coach cursed at her during a game this season.
On Wednesday, WNBA insider Khristina Williams reported that the league was launching an investigation into the Storm, but did not specify the reasons behind the decision. She did not name Loyd.
"Per sources: There is currently an investigation being launched into the Seattle Storm coaching staff by the WNBA and league security," Williams tweeted.

A few hours later, Williams said the complaint was filed by a former Storm player. Again, she did not name Loyd.
"A source with knowledge of the situation tells @iHRWomensSports that the league is reviewing a complaint filed by a former Seattle Storm player, who alleges an assistant coach used profanity toward them.
ESPN, however, reported that Loyd was the player who filed the complaint and that the incident occurred during the Aces' 75-70 victory against Seattle last Sunday.
The Storm and the Aces split their recent two-game series at Climate Pledge Arena. The Storm won the first game 102-82 on May 25. The Aces then evened the series with a 75-70 win.
This is not the first time the Storm's coaching staff has been investigated. In the 2024 season, Jewell Loyd accused Seattle's staff of harassment and bullying, which led to an investigation.
However, the investigation did not yield a result. Loyd requested a trade soon after the investigation ended, with the six-time All-Star traded to the Aces in February.
Seattle Storm come back in second half against Dallas Wings to snap losing streak
Seattle Storm made a comeback against the Paige Bueckers-less Dallas Wings to snap their losing streak on Tuesday. Dallas, led by DiJonai Carrington, won the first two quarters 20-19 and 18-11, respectively.
However, Seattle relied on veteran talent to turn the game around, outscoring Dallas in the last two quarters to secure an 83-77 win. The Storm have had a rollercoaster start to their season. They suffered a blowout loss in their opening game against the Mercury with a final score of 81-59.
However, they did not let the loss get to them and went on to win their next three games. They then lost three games consecutively before breaking the streak against the Wings on Tuesday.
