WNBA co-owner Celeste Keaton has been suspended for five games and fined following an incident involving supporters of Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham. The league levied the punishment after reviewing events that occurred during a game between the Seattle Storm and the Indiana Fever.
The WNBA did not detail the specific actions that led to the suspension, but reports indicate it stemmed from behavior exhibited by individuals associated with Cunningham. Neither source provided further details on the nature of the incident or the specific behaviors involved. Keaton’s ban begins immediately and includes a financial penalty, though the amount of the fine was not disclosed.
The league has not released any statements beyond announcing the disciplinary action against Keaton. No right-leaning outlets have reported on this story. The suspension prevents Keaton from being present at games, participating in team activities, or having direct contact with players and staff during the five-game period.
The incident highlights the WNBA’s commitment to maintaining a respectful environment for players, coaches, and fans. While details remain scarce, the league's response underscores its willingness to address inappropriate conduct from anyone associated with teams, including owners. The duration of Keaton’s suspension suggests the league viewed the infraction as significant enough to warrant substantial disciplinary measures.
