Los Angeles Sparks center Liz Cambage on Monday addressed a recent report alleging the WNBA star used a racial slur during a heated scrimmage with Nigeria prior to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
According to an investigation conducted by The Daily Telegraph, Cambage, 30, was seen on camera participating in a scuffle with members of the Nigerian national team after the Australian center elbowed one opponent in the head and slapped another in the face in a closed-door practice. During the ensuing fight, Cambage reportedly called the Nigerian players “monkeys” and told them to “go back to your third-world country,” per testimony given by anonymous Nigerian players present at the scene.
