Updated: Updated 918 AM PDT October 5, 2023

Two-time All-Star and forward for the Las Vegas Aces, Dearica Hamby, has filed a gender discrimination complaint against the team. Hamby, who played in all 40 WNBA games last season, alleges that the Aces have treated her differently since she became pregnant.

In the complaint, Hamby claims that the Aces have denied her access to necessary medical care, made her practice and play while she was not physically ready, and retaliated against her for speaking out about her concerns.

The Aces have denied the allegations, saying that they have treated Hamby fairly and in accordance with all applicable laws.

The WNBA is investigating the complaint.

Conclusion

Hamby's complaint is a reminder of the challenges that female athletes face in the workplace. Despite the progress that has been made in recent years, gender discrimination remains a problem in many industries, including sports.

Hamby's case is a test case for the WNBA and other professional sports leagues. If the Aces are found to have discriminated against Hamby, it will send a strong message that such behavior will not be tolerated.
