Liz Cambage lands in Los Angeles after playing two seasons with the Aces

It may be the dog days of the 2022 WNBA Free Agency period but we’re still receiving important news every now and again. And on this Friday, February 16, one of the biggest free agents of the offseason finally has a home. Liz Cambage has officially signed with the Los Angeles Sparks, reports ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.

Cambage has long wanted to play for the Sparks and as LA cleared cap space a few weeks ago, the eventual pairing between the two sides became a more-than-realistic outcome. It was just a matter of making the money work. Shelburne reports that the deal between Cambage and the Sparks will be a $170k one, noting that Cambage took significantly less money to help the Sparks.

The pairing wasn’t always considered a no-brainer, though, thanks to some comments that Cambage made earlier this offseason about the WNBA. She voiced her frustrations via social media about the pay gap between coaches and players, which made it seem uncertain if she’d entertain playing in the W at all this upcoming season.

The 6’8″ center leaves Las Vegas after averaging16.7 points and 8.9 rebounds over 62 total games (regular season + playoffs) with the Aces. She now heads to Los Angeles where she’s ready to join an already-talented, yet revamped, team that is looking to compete for a championship (+4000 at Tipico Sportsbook).

The Sparks are getting one of the better bigs in the W, who certainly still strikes fear in opposing teams and has game-changing potential on both ends of the court.
