Overview
- Hamby and the Las Vegas Aces filed a joint motion Thursday in the U.S. District Court in Nevada to dismiss the lawsuit in its entirety.
- The case was dismissed with prejudice, which prevents refiling, and each side will pay its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
- Hamby’s 2024 complaint alleged the Aces discriminated and retaliated after she announced a pregnancy, asserting her January 2023 trade to the Sparks was tied to that disclosure.
- A federal judge in May dismissed her claims against the WNBA, and the league had previously sanctioned the Aces in 2023 by revoking their 2025 first-round pick and suspending coach Becky Hammon two games.
- Hamby said she would not discuss the outcome but stands by her lawsuit’s claims, while Hammon has said the trade was a basketball move connected to pursuing Candace Parker.
