Sparks All-Star forward Dearica Hamby sued the WNBA and her former team in federal court Monday regarding her treatment from the Aces while pregnant.
Los Angeles Sparks All-Star forward Dearica Hamby sued the WNBA and her former team in federal court Monday regarding her treatment from the Las Vegas Aces while pregnant. Hamby's lawsuit alleged the Aces discriminated and retaliated against her, leading to her January 2023 trade to the Sparks. “We are aware of today’s legal filing and are reviewing the complaint,' a WNBA spokesperson said.
She filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in September saying she was discriminated against and amended the filing in October. According to the lawsuit, the EEOC ruled in May she had a “right to sue.” “The WNBA is, at its core, a workplace, and federal laws have long shielded pregnant women from discrimination on the job,' Hamby’s attorneys said in a statement.
