Sparks forward Dearica Hamby spoke for the first time Tuesday since her former coach Becky Hammon was suspended earlier that day following a WNBA investigation that began after Hamby alleged misconduct while a part of the Aces organization. The league issued Hammon a two-game suspension, and Las Vegas was stripped of its 2025 first-round draft pick.
“I don’t really have much to say about it,” Hamby said. “I kind of want to move forward and focus on where I am today. I’m healthy, I’m happy, my son is healthy and I’m gonna be playing basketball this season. Just want to focus on moving forward, this part of it is over and then me and the union will continue to explore my options.”
