Per ESPN:
Riquna Williams, a veteran WNBA player and a member of last year’s championship-winning Las Vegas Aces, has been barred from the team after her arrest Tuesday on felony domestic violence charges involving a person authorities say is her spouse.
Williams faces five felony charges, including multiple counts of domestic battery by strangulation, coercion with the threat or use of physical force, and assault with use of a weapon, according to court records. She also faces four misdemeanor domestic battery charges.
A judge on Wednesday allowed Williams, 33, to be released from jail without bail less than a day after her arrest but said that she can have no contact with her spouse and must comply with alcohol monitoring pending another court appearance on Aug. 2.
In response to the charges, the Las Vegas Aces have barred Williams from the team and released a statement condemning violence.
The Las Vegas Aces organization stated “As an organization, we condemn domestic violence of any kind. At this time, Riquna Williams will be precluded from participating in team activities.”
