Timberwolves assistant coach Rick Brunson has resigned from the staff, the team announced on Tuesday. His resignation comes in the wake of investigations into allegations of improper conduct toward women while on the job, sources told The Athletic.

Brunson’s attorney says his client has done nothing wrong.

The most recent incident came during the playoffs, when a woman who does not work for the team lodged a complaint with the Timberwolves after Brunson made several unwanted advances toward her while at the arena for games against the Houston Rockets, sources told The Athletic.

The woman met with Timberwolves officials, who investigated the matter and ultimately determined that Brunson was not meeting the standards set by the franchise for its employees.

“Our entire organization — made up of the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Minnesota Lynx and Iowa Wolves — is deeply committed to creating a safe work environment for our employees, partners and fans,” the Timberwolves said in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon. “Our teams strive to have our actions reflect our values each and every day. We work to maintain high standards of conduct and expect our staff to lead by example. We did not believe Mr. Brunson’s conduct was consistent with those standards.”

The Athletic left a message with Brunson, whose attorney denied any wrongdoing by his client in a statement to the New York Daily News.

“Contrary to erroneous reports there have been no findings of any wrongdoing by Rick as any proper investigation by the Timberwolves would have shown,” Alan Milstein told the newspaper.

The Athletic has not reported there was a finding of wrongdoing, only that he was the subject of at least two team inquiries into his alleged conduct.

The Timberwolves previously interviewed at least two other women about interactions they had with Brunson over his two years on the team, according to the women, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Both told investigators that they had conversations or interactions with him that they deemed out of the ordinary, but none that they felt rose to the level of issuing a formal complaint.

Brunson just finished his second season with the Wolves under coach Tom Thibodeau, who also had him for two years on his staff in Chicago. He is the father of Villanova star Jalen Brunson, the national player of the year who has declared for the NBA Draft.

Rick Brunson played for eight teams in nine NBA seasons as a point guard, averaging 3.2 points and 2.6 assists in 337 career games.

He stood trial on sexual assault charges involving allegations made in 2014 by a massage therapist with whom he admitted to having an extramarital affair. Brunson steadfastly denied the allegations and a judge sided with him in a bench trial, acquitting him of all charges.

Rick Brunson’s resignation comes one day after Thibodeau let player development assistant Vince Legarza, shooting coach Peter Patton and assistant video coordinator Wes Bohn go in a reshuffling of his staff. Those moves were made purely for basketball-related reasons.

This story has been updated to add a statement from Brunson’s attorney given to the New York Daily News.
