LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon again disputed former Aces player Dearica Hamby’s claim the Aces mistreated her and traded her because of her pregnancy. Hammon said it didn’t happen on Sunday after the Aces defeated Hamby and the Los Angeles Sparks. Hamby, traded to Los Angeles in January 2023, played for the organization from 2015-22, beginning when the Aces were based in San Antonio. Hamby went public with her accusations last year, and Hammon was suspended two games after an investigation by the WNBA. Last week, Hamby sued the WNBA and her former team in federal court alleging discrimination and retaliation. Hammon previously refuted the allegations, saying in May 2023 that Hamby was traded for strategic reasons to acquire more players.
