Liz Cambage shockingly quit the Los Angeles Sparks last month and shortly after, the two sides agreed on a contract divorce. On Monday, she penned a heartfelt apology to the organization and announced that she will be stepping away from the WNBA for the time being.
“Playing for the Sparks was a dream come true and I’m honored to have shared the court with such amazing ladies for as long as we did. I'm sorry to have left abruptly and I wish it would have ended on a different note.,” Liz Cambage said.
“I’ve decided to step away from the league for the time being and I’m hopeful that the WNBA will do their part in creating safer environments and a stronger support system for their players. While I’ll miss rocking the purple and gold, I’ll be taking this time to focus on my healing and personal growth before providing clarification on past rumors. Thank you to all my supporters, family and friends for all the love and light you continue to surround me with.”
