LAS VEGAS — The Aces traded two-time Sixth Player of the Year, two-time All-Star forward and franchise stalwart Dearica Hamby to the Los Angeles Sparks for center Amanda Zahui B., general manager Natalie Williams announced Saturday morning.
The Aces are also sending a 2024 first-round draft pick to Los Angeles and getting a 2024 second-round pick in return, marking the end of Hamby’s eight-year tenure with the franchise.
Hamby thanked the city of Las Vegas, her teammates and Aces fans in a post on social media, but also criticized the way the organization treated her after she announced her pregnancy.
