A woman who accused Sacramento Kings Coach Luke Walton of sexual assault has dropped her lawsuit. There was no criminal case against Mr. Walton. In the lawsuit, Ms. Tennant said that Mr. Walton had pinned her to a bed and forcibly kissed and groped her in a hotel room in 2014, while he was working as an assistant for the Golden State Warriors. Ms. Tennant was formerly a host for Spectrum SportsNet, a Southern California sports network. Ms. Tennant said she had considered Mr. Walton a mentor, and he wrote the foreword to her book about athletes transitioning to life after sports.
