The WNBA is “aware of today’s legal filing” and officials are “reviewing the complaint,” a WNBA spokesperson said. Hamby played for the organization from 2015 to 2022, winning a WNBA title in her last season. In May 2023, Hammon told reporters: “(Her pregnancy) wasn’t a problem, and it never was why we made the decision to move Hamby. The world champion Aces exiled Dearica Hamby for becoming pregnant and the WNBA responded with a light tap on the wrist,” Hamby’s attorneys said in Monday’s statement. Hamby recently won a bronze medal at the Olympics as a member of the US women’s 3x3 basketball team.
