WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Dearica Hamby made her professional debut on Friday for the San Antonio Stars.
Hamby cracked the starting lineup in San Antonio's season opener at Phoenix. The Stars came up short with a 76-71 loss but Hamby performed well. The forward tallied 10 points, five rebounds and one assist in the game.
Hamby and the Stars are back in action against Atlanta on June 11.
Hamby was the first Demon Deacon ever selected in the WNBA Draft. The 6-3 forward rewrote the Wake Forest record book and became the program's all-time leading scorer (1,801 points) and rebounder (1,021 rebounds). She was also the first Deacon to be named first team All-ACC twice in her career. She earned All-America honorable mention honors from both the WBCA and Associated Press this season.
