Free-agent center Liz Cambage announced Monday she is stepping away from the WNBA “for the time being.” Cambage and the Sparks agreed to part ways in July.
“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,” Cambage wrote on Instagram. “I’m sorry to have left abruptly and I wish it would have ended on a different note. 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,” she continued. “Thank you to all my supporters, family and friends for all the love and light you continue to surround me with.”
