Neither the Rockets nor Spurs — nor the NBA league office — have reached out to Ware or her representatives, a lawyer for Ware told SFGATE.
Warriors forward Anthony Lamb, pictured here in January, has been accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit.When the Warriors added Anthony Lamb on a two-way contract last fall, reporters grilled Golden State general manager Bob Myers about public sexual assault allegations against Lamb.
In December of last year, Kendall Ware filed a lawsuit against the University of Vermont that said Lamb raped her while both were students there in 2019. But well before the lawsuit, allegations that Lamb had committed sexual assault while he was a student at UVMIn response, Myers said that he checked about the sexual assault case with the NBA league office and the other teams, the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs, which had previously signed Lamb.
Ware and two other women filed suit in December against UVM and several administrators, saying the school and its athletic department had a “deliberate indifference” to sexual assault. It is in those court documents that Ware first publicly said that Lamb had raped her, although she reported the incident to the school in 2019.
When the Warriors first added Lamb this fall, Myers shifted some of the responsibility for vetting Lamb to the league itself. “If the NBA had said, this is not something we would recommend, or do, or if there’s an ongoing investigation, we would have not moved forward,”
