The Sacramento Kings coach, a former Los Angeles Lakers forward who won two championships with the team, previously served as assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors and head coach with the Lakers beginning in 2016. Though the suit does not specify the date of the alleged assault, it indicates it happened while Walton was an assistant coach for the Warriors, a position he took beginning in the 2014-2015 season.
The lawsuit alleges that Walton pinned Tennant — a former host of SportsNet LA — on the bed of his hotel room after she dropped off a book she'd written for student-athletes. Walton, who Tennant had known for years and considered a"trusted mentor and colleague," had written the book's forward, the complaint, which claims sexual assault and battery"Terrified, Ms. Tennant immediately yelled 'Stop it,' and tried to free herself," the document says.
The document alleges that Walton continued to"taunt" and touch Tennant in uncomfortable ways after the alleged incident in the hotel room.
