Los Angeles Sparks All-Star Dearica Hamby has filed a lawsuit against the WNBA and her former team, the Las Vegas Aces, in federal court. The lawsuit alleges discrimination and retaliation by the Aces, which ultimately led to her trade to the Sparks in January 2023.
The WNBA spokesperson stated that they are currently reviewing the complaint, while the Aces have not yet responded to requests for comment. However, the club and coach Becky Hammon have previously denied the allegations, citing strategic reasons for trading Hamby to make room for signing Candace Parker.
