About Liz Cambage in brief
Elizabeth Cambage is an Australian professional basketball player for the Las Vegas Aces of the Women’s National Basketball Association and the Australian Opals. Cambage currently holds the WNBA single-game scoring record with her 53-point performance against the New York Liberty on 17 July 2018. She was born on 18 August 1991 in London to a Nigerian father and Australian mother. Her parents separated when Cambage was three months old and she moved to Australia with her mother. She started playing basketball at her mother’s suggestion when she was 10 as a way to make friends. In 2009, she played in the Under-20 Australian National Championships, and the ABC suggested she could be the next Lauren Jackson. In February 2018, Cambage signed a multi-year contract to play for the Zijang Chouzhou basketball club in China, which made her one of the highest-paid female basketballers in the world.
She stopped eating meat in 2018, noting that she had not been paid properly and unable to meet her mortgage payments. She is 203 centimetres tall and plays at the center position in basketball. She played her junior basketball with Dandenong Rangers, joining their WNBL team for the 2007–08 season. In a November 2008 90–62 loss to the Adelaide Lightning, she scored 11 points, had 12 rebounds and fouled out of the game. She returned to Melbourne to play with the Bulleen Boomers, and in her first season with the club made the WNHL all-star five. In May 2012, she did not re-sign with the team, one of few Opals players in the league to not have made a commitment to their WnBL team one way or another. In March 2011, she expressed a reluctance to playing for the team that drafted her, the Tulsa Shock, stating, ‘I don’t want to play at Tulsa, I’ve made that clear.’
