A former assistant athletic trainer for the Sacramento Kings is suing the team, alleging pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. She claims senior staff made vile comments after she announced her pregnancy, including being told her life would be “ruined after you have kids,” and was barred from traveling with the team during her second trimester. After returning from maternity leave, she was sidelined again, denied full duties, and eventually fired — despite her performance being cited as the reason. The Kings deny all claims, calling the allegations a “characterization” by a “disgruntled former employee” and vow to fight vigorously in court. Mediation failed, and while the current head coach is not named as a defendant, the suit also references negative interactions with him during his time as an assistant.
