Liz Cambage and the Los Angeles Sparks have agreed to a ‘contract divorce’, leaving the Australian star searching for a new WNBA home.
Cambage signed with the Sparks in February after controversially pulling out of the Tokyo Olympics and the Opals squad following claims she had racially abused Nigerian opponents during a warm-up match.
Cambage denied the claims.
“It is with support that we share Liz Cambage’s decision to terminate her contract with the organisation,” Sparks managing partner Eric Holoman said in a statement.
“We want what’s best for Liz and have agreed to part ways amicably. The Sparks remain excited about our core group and are focused on our run towards a 2022 playoff berth.”
Cambage told ABC Sport in May that she felt supported at the Sparks after her controversial exit from the Opals.
“I’m living my best life. I’m supported, I’m protected on a level that the Opals or the Australian team never gave to me,” she said.
“My heart lies with those who want to protect me and those who want me to be the best I can be, and I never felt that at the Opals at all, so yeah I’m good.”
