[ATTACH type="full" alt="44826"]44826[/ATTACH] In April, [URL='https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/26641241/sparks-guard-williams-arrested-florida']Williams was arrested[/URL] on felony charges of burglary with assault or battery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, stemming from the December incident. Her criminal case is ongoing. The WNBA conducted its own internal investigation into this matter, including interviews of Williams and several witnesses. The WNBA also consulted with a panel of experts in the field of domestic violence, upon whom the league relies in connection with such matters. Based on the investigation, consultation, and a careful weighing of all the facts and circumstances, the WNBA determined that a ten-game suspension was appropriate. Among other factors, the WNBA took into account the nature and seriousness of the conduct at issue, including the involvement of a firearm. The WNBA will also require Williams to participate in counseling. Williams’ suspension will begin with Thursday’s game against the Dallas Wings.
