ACES coach Becky Hammon, who allegedly traded in Hamby in the sparks of 2023 due to Hamy's pregnancy, was a key component in the decision. According to court records, Hammon was the “decision -making” of the team, who could have “discriminated against Hamby because of his pregnancy”.

About three weeks after Dearic Hamy filed the demand, the Las Vegas Aes Beat the Sparks 87-71. Hammon spoke with journalists after the game and vehemently denied complaints. The coach added that Hamby received “excessive attention” and that the decision to market it was “strategic” and not personal.

Hamby included the WNBA in his demand after the league supposedly could not investigate his trade properly. Since the court dismissed the claim, it can continue with its allegations of federal discrimination against ACES only.
