Dearica Marie Hamby is an American basketball player for the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).
WNBA career
Drafted sixth overall in 2015, Hamby played for the San Antonio Stars, which became the Las Vegas Aces. She shot an average of 11 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.97 steals per game. She tied the WNBA record for the most double-doubles by a reserve off the bench with five.
Hamby was voted WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year in 2019, almost unanimously (41 of 43 votes).
On the same day she received her award, in the second round, single-elimination 2019 WNBA Playoffs game against the Chicago Sky, with 6.5 seconds remaining and her team behind 92–90, Hamby made what the WNBA website termed "the shot of the year." Hamby stole a pass from Courtney Vandersloot intended for Diamond DeShields, dribbled once past half court, and threw in the game-winning basket, securing an Aces win.
On September 20, 2020, Hamby was named Sixth Woman of the Year for the second year in a row.
Hamby signed a multi-year contract extension with the Aces on June 29, 2022.
Hamby, and the Aces, won the 2022 WNBA Championship.
On January 21, 2023 Hamby was traded to the Los Angeles Sparks alongside a 2024 WNBA Draft first-round pick in exchange for the rights of Amanda Zahui B. and a 2024 WNBA Draft 2nd round pick.
