The Aces confirmed Wednesday evening that they know about the WNBA’s investigation into Dearica Hamby’s allegations against the franchise. The probe, per Las Vegas, was launched on Wednesday.
The two-time WNBA All Star was traded from the Aces to the Sparks last month, and in wake of the move, Hamby detailed on Instagram “traumatic” events that occurred during her time with the Aces and what led to her trade. While she knows being traded was “part of the business,” the 29-year-old pointed out that being “lied to, bullied, manipulated and discriminated” is not.
“I have had my character and work ethic attacked,” Hamby wrote. “I was promised things to entice me to sign my contract extension that were not followed through on. I was accused of signing my extension knowingly pregnant. This is false. I was told that I was a “question mark” and that it was said that I said I would “get pregnant again” and there was a concern for my level of commitment to the team. I was told that “I didn’t hold up my end of the bargain because “no expected me to get pregnant in the next two years.”
