Sky coach and general manager James Wade confirmed Thursday afternoon that the WNBA is investigating an incident that took place during the team’s game against the Atlanta Dream in which an official used the racist term “boy” toward him.
The league has yet to issue a statement despite the Sky and Wade expressing deep discomfort with the language used by this official. The Sky hoped the league would take swift action in the matter. Almost two days have passed since this incident took place.
“I want accountability,” Wade said.
A Sky spokesperson said that Wade was interviewed by league security on Wednesday.
