Dearica Hamby, who won a WNBA championship with the Las Vegas Aces in 2022, claims that the team “discriminated against” her during her pregnancy.

Hamby, a two-time WNBA All-Star, was traded to the Los Angeles Sparks on Jan. 21, along with a 2024 first-round pick, in exchange for former New York Liberty standout Amanda Zahui B., and a 2024 second-rounder.

Hamby took to her official Instagram to speak on the move, thanking Aces fans but then going at the team’s management for their handling of her situation.

“Being traded is part of the business. Being lied to, bullied, manipulated, and discriminated against is not,” Hamby wrote. “I was promised things to entice me to sign my contract extension that was not followed through on. I was accused of signing my extension while pregnant. This is false. I was told I was ‘a question mark.'”

She added, “I was asked if I planned my pregnancy. When I responded, ‘no,’ I was then told that I ‘was not taking precautions to not get pregnant.’ I was being traded because ‘I wouldn’t be ready and we need bodies.’ I planned to play this season, and I have expressed my desire to play this season.”

Hamby announced her pregnancy during the Aces’ championship parade in September. She played all 34 regular season games, starting 32, while averaging 9.3 points and 7.1 rebounds through 26.5 minutes per contest en route to a second-consecutive All-Star appearance. In the playoffs, she was limited to 8.5 minutes per contest in her six appearances, posting 1.2 points and 1.5 boards per game.

The Women’s National Basketball Players Association released a statement regarding Hamby’s claims, saying they’ll “seek a comprehensive investigation” to ensure that her rights weren’t violated.

In the aftermath of the deal, the Aces — according to the Chicago Sun-Times — are scheduled to meet with free agent Candace Parker, who helped lead the Chicago Sky to the 2021 WNBA championship and spent her last two seasons with the club after playing with the Los Angeles Sparks from 2008-2020.
