Liz Cambage, having a hot-headed personality, everyone seems to be walking on eggshells around her. Cambage, all through her WNBA career, had been bouncing off from one team to another, as a result, she has never played for more than 1 consecutive season for a franchise.

The last game she ever played, was against the Aces (her former team).?Evidently, the Sparks lost the game with an 84-66 score. During the first half of the game, Liz was obsessively yelling at her teammates to pass the ball to her. Feeling disrespected by Liz’s behavior, her teammates passed the ball to her in the second half, even when the ball was not in play.

However, everything boiled down to Liz going to the locker room and changing her clothes. On her way out, she said – “I can’t do this anymore, good luck to you guys,”?and was never seen again.
