in franchise history last week, and apparently she played in this year’s playoffs while pregnant.
Hamby gave a speech at the championship parade, and following that, the announcer referred to her as “Amaya’s mom,” referring to Hamby’s daughter.“It’s no longer Amaya’s mom,” she said. “It’s Amaya and Legend’s mom.”Hamby’s daughter Amaya later confirmed the exciting news while appearing on Aces guard Sydney Colson’s Instagram live video. She also confirmed that she will have a baby brother.
It’s unknown how far along Hamby is in her pregnancy, but regardless, she helped the Aces win the league while carrying a baby. Hamby has been a part of the Aces since 2015, when the team was located in San Antonio. She is a two-time WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year recipient , and a two-time All-Star . She missed the first round of this year’s playoffs with a knee injury, and only participated for eight minutes during the semifinals.
