Technically they traded her if I'm reading this correctly, so I'm not sure if that's illegal.

It is an interesting argument that someone can sign a contract and basically be out 9 months of every year during it.

If they had outright fired her for being pregnant then that would be illegal.

They traded her. So she's still employed with the WNBA, just in another city. And likely making comparable pay.

If I recall correctly, the Aces also got dinged for manipulating the cap. I'm curious if the manipulation happened because they're having to pay a player for 9 months to stay home pregnant for the second time in two years and they had to try to find someone of comparable talent to fill her spot.

Exactly. It can be thought. But if you’re dumb enough to say it out loud…? MORON!!

It's got to be annoying as hell to be a WNBA GM. You go all in on rebuilding a team. Drafted great. Made quality trades.

Now all of a sudden 2 of your players you heavily count on are pregnant and have to miss an entire season.

She was traded and not fired. She did not lose her job per say so theoretically this is not illegal.
