Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon has strongly refuted a lawsuit filed by her former player Dearica Hamby, accusing Hammon and the WNBA of ‘repeated acts of intimidation’
Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon has spoken out after former player Dearica Hamby accused her of discrimination while being pregnant.
She also said there were “notable changes in the way she was treated” by Hammon and the team after announcing her pregnancy. 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.”
While Hammon and the Aces have yet to make a comment, a WNBA spokesperson shared in a statement on Monday that “they are aware of today’s legal filing and are reviewing the complaint.”
