Former Kings Trainer Sues Over Pregnancy Discrimination | NBA News
Description
Former Kings athletic trainer Crystal Lee has sued the team and its senior health director, alleging pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination — claiming she was demoted twice after giving birth and fired in 2025. The Kings deny all claims, vowing to fight vigorously in court. Lee says she was excluded from road trips, had her title stripped, and faced hostile behavior from GM Scott Perry and coach Doug Christie, who allegedly threatened mass firings and made unwanted advances. Mediation failed, and the case is now officially underway.
