Aces coach Becky Hammon has denied any wrongdoing in connection to a WNBA investigation looking into the mistreatment of former player Dearica Hamby.
Hammon’s two-game suspension without pay came after the league looked into Hamby’s allegations that her pregnancy negatively impacted her status with Las Vegas and led to bullying. Hamby and a 2024 first-round pick were traded to the Sparks in January for a 2024 second-round pick and the rights to Amanda Zahui B.
“I’ll take my little lump on the chin and keep it moving,” Hammon said when asked about the suspension. “We’re bigger than this. It’s just not who the Aces are. It’s not who I am. And so, yeah, everybody’s disappointed in the situation but at the end of the day, we know who we are and so we go to sleep every night in that truth.”
