WNBA coach Becky Hammon denies mistreating pregnant player
Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon denied making derogatory remarks about two-time All-Star Dearica Hamby's pregnancy, telling reporters on Wednesday that the decision to trade her to the Los Angeles Sparks was purely a business one. The WNBA suspended Hammon for two games on Tuesday, saying she had violated 'Respect in the Workplace' policies. The violation 'was related to comments made by Hammon to Hamby in connection with Hamby's recent pregnancy', the league said in a statement. The league also docked the Aces their 2025 first-round pick for offering 'impermissible benefits' related to Hamby's contract extension negotiations.
