While I will miss wearing purple and gold, I will be taking this time to focus on my healing and personal growth. I would like to thank my family and friends for their continued support.
The Sparks finished with the second-worst record in the league after losing eight of their last nine games to fall out of the playoffs. The three-time champion L.A. is missing the playoffs for the first time since 1997 and 1998.
They traded away their first-round pick when they acquired Chennedy Carter.
When she arrived in L.A., she was eager to help the team return to relevancy. The team had managed to stay afloat under interim coach Fred Williams despite the firing of their head coach.
In 25 appearances, the 6-foot-8 Cambage averaged 13.0 points and 6.4 boards per game.
Cambage said she was honored to have shared the court with such amazing ladies for as long as we did. It would have been better if it had ended on a different note. I'm hopeful that the WNBA will help create safer environments and a better support system for their players.
The Australian star has been vocal about her mental health and challenges she has faced. Her basketball career has been controversial. She was accused of using a racial slur towards the Nigerian national team and being involved in a physical altercation with the Australian national team last year. She withdrew from the team shortly before the Games, citing her mental health, but later denied the allegations and said she had no desire to play for the team again.
Prior to her arrival in L.A., she didn't leave her previous two teams on the strongest of terms, requesting a trade from Dallas one season into a multiyear deal and complaining about how the league allows coaches to be paid more. The news of the new head coach being paid more than a million dollars came shortly after.
While her future in the NBA remains uncertain, she's built a robust non- basketball portfolio that includes DJing and modeling.
