For people that watch the WNBA, not many of them usually have to worry about their favorite players missing time due to pregnancy for obvious reasons that do not need to be stated. However, there is one player that is now pregnant with child again and she is not happy about how her former team treated her.
Two-time WNBA All-Star Dearica Hamby was traded from Las Vegas to Los Angeles on Saturday. She then made allegations that they treated her in an “unprofessional and unethical way” in regard to her pregnancy.
Hamby would make the claims in an Instagram post. She also thanked the city of Las Vegas and Aces fans.
“Being traded is a part of the business. Being lied to, bullied, manipulated, and discriminated against is not,” the post read. “I have had my character and work ethic attacked. 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 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 workout (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 added that her situation with the Aces had been “traumatizing.”
“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,” she added. “We fought for provisions that would finally support and protect player parents. This cannot now be used against me.”
She announced at the Aces’ championship parade in September that she was expecting her second child.
Hamby was the No. 6 overall pick of the Aces organization in 2015. She was the WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year in 2019 and 2020. She averaged 9.3 points and 7.1 rebounds as the Aces won the championship.
