Dearica Hamby Revealed The Horrible Treatment She Received From Aces

Recently, Las Vegas Aces and Los Angeles Sparks were involved in a trade deal for Dearica Hamby. However, the WNBA All-Star guard revealed that she was not happy about the way she was kicked out. She accused her former team of some horrible treatment.

In a social media post, Dearica Hamby revealed that the Aces blamed her for lying about her pregnancy and even questioned her commitment. She said she was “lied to, bullied, manipulated, and discriminated against.”

How Was Hamby Mistreated?

Her message read “Being traded is a part of the business. Being lied to, bullied, manipulated and discriminated against is not. I have had my character and work ethic attacked. I was promised things to entice me to sign my contract extension that was not followed through on. I was accused of signing my extension knowingly pregnant. This is false. I was told I was a ‘question mark’ and that it was set that 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 one expected me to get pregnant in the next two years’). Did the team expect me to promise not to get pregnant in exchange for the contract extension? I was asked if I planned my pregnancy.

“When I responded, ‘no,’ I was then told that I ‘was not taking precautions to not get pregnant.’ I was being traded because ‘I wouldn’t be ready and we need bodies.’ I planned to play this season, and I have expressed my desire to play this season. I have pushed myself throughout my entire pregnancy and have continued to work out (basketball included) on my own and with team staff – even on days where it was uncomfortable to walk, only to be inaccurately told that ‘I was not taking my workouts seriously.’”

Hamby was shocked and expressed her displeasure for being treated in such an unholy manner by her team of fellow women.

“To be treated this way by an organization, BY WOMEN who are mothers, who have claimed to ‘be in these shoes,’ who preach family, chemistry, and women’s empowerment is disappointing and leaves me sick to my stomach. We fought for provisions that would finally support and protect player parents. This cannot now be used against me.”

The Aces were not eager to comment on Hamby’s post either.
