The team said the call comes amid an "incident earlier this summer," where she registered a .20 blood-alcohol content, which is more than twice the legal limit in Minnesota.

Sims apologized in June, saying, "I take full responsibility for my actions. I know the consequences, and I'm going to get past it and move forward. I'll continue to play hard every day in and day out and get over it eventually."
