Liz Cambage apologizes to Sparks in first public comments on abruptly leaving team
LA TimesLiz Cambage apologized Monday for leaving the Sparks abruptly amid a playoff run during her only season in L.A. When Liz Cambage abruptly walked away from the Sparks late last month, the team was half a game out of a playoff spot with nine games remaining. “I’m sorry to have left abruptly and I wish it would have ended on a different note.” Cambage also announced she is going to “step away from the league for the time being.” The Sparks signed Cambage to a one-year contract before the 2022 season — with the four-time All Star agreeing to a deal below the league maximum — despite her history of sudden departures from teams. Cambage has not given a specific reason for leaving the Sparks and the WNBA, but she wrote: “I’ll be taking this time to focus on my healing and personal growth before providing clarification on past rumors” and “I’m hopeful that the WNBA will do their part in creating safer environments and a stronger support system for their players.”
