Dearica Hamby filed a lawsuit on Monday, August 12, against the WNBA and her former team the Aces for discrimination while she was pregnant
Dearica Hamby filed a federal lawsuit against the WNBA and her former team, the Las Vegas Aces, alleging she faced discrimination and unlawful retaliation while she was pregnant.
In the lawsuit, Hamby, who began playing for the Aces in 2015, noted that she signed a two-year contract extension with the team in spring of 2022. Less than a month later, she discovered she was pregnant with her second child, however, she “experienced notable changes in the way she was treated by Las Vegas Aces Staff.”
Hamby’s lawyers alleged that she asked, “You’re trading me because I’m pregnant?,” to which Hammon, 47, responded, “What do you want me to do?” In January 2023, after her trade to the Sparks, Hamby made a statement on social media claiming that the Aces discriminated against her.
