Former sports reporter Kelli Tennant spoke out Tuesday about her sexual assault allegations against Luke Walton, the new head coach of the Sacramento Kings. At the time, Walton was an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors. “I’m no longer comfortable staying silent,” Tennant said Tuesday at a news conference with her attorney Garo Mardirossian. Tennant described the alleged assault in detail, saying it happened in 2014, after the publication of her book, “The Transition: Every Athlete’s Guide to Life After Sports,” for which Walton wrote a foreword. (Tennant was a volleyball player and coach before working in sports broadcasting.)
