Pregnant woman discriminated against? Player sues league
Basketball player Dearica Hamby has sued the US professional league WNBA and her former team Las Vegas Aces because she feels discriminated against due to her pregnancy.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen In January 2023, Hamby, who won bronze in the 3x3 format at the Olympic Games, was transferred from the Las Vegas Aces to the Los Angeles Sparks. According to her allegations, this was because she became pregnant with her second child.

Coach suspended and draft penalty
