What WNBA Record Does Disgruntled Star Liz Cambage Still Hold?

Liz Cambage is a prominent figure in the WNBA and an OnlyFans model. She recently garnered attention for her involvement in a highly publicized racial discussion. Despite the Tokyo Olympics controversies, her significant WNBA scoring record cannot be overshadowed. It’s a rather impressive achievement in her career.

Once a dominant force in the WNBA, Cambage now plays for Maccabi Bnot Ashdod in the Israel women’s basketball league. In particular, she etched her name into the league’s history books with an awe-inspiring performance.

The record that endures

Cambage shares a unique distinction with A’ja Wilson in the WNBA’s annals: the single-game scoring record. She etched her name in the WNBA history on July 17th, 2018, during a game against the New York Liberty. Cambage’s extraordinary display of talent and scoring prowess saw her amass an astonishing 53 points in a single game.

Cambage displayed unparalleled shooting precision in the record-breaking game, converting 17/22 field goal attempts. She not only showed her shooting prowess, but her overall versatility was on display, sinking 4/5 shots beyond the arc. Her incredible form extended to the free-throw line, where she ended up making 15 of 16 attempts. Her defensive game was not far behind either as she collected 10 rebounds, and 5 blocks, highlighting her dominance on both ends of the court.

The 6’9″ center’s incredible form continued throughout the season as she scored in double figures in all 32 games. She became a prominent player in the league due to her consistency and knack for remarkable performances.

Liz Cambage’s controversial WNBA journey

Exceptional talent and controversy have marked Cambage’s journey in the WNBA. Following her selection by the Tulsa Shock in the WNBA draft, Cambage expressed reluctance to play for the team. Voicing her stance, she rejected the franchise player role and stressed her goal to develop skills in the WNBA.

After the 2012 Summer Olympics, Cambage was scheduled to return to the US to complete the WNBA season with the Tulsa Shock. Her agent cited exhaustion from playing for the national team as the reason behind not coming. The Australian center did eventually return to play for the Shock in the 2013 season but then took a five-year hiatus from the WNBA. Her triumphant comeback occurred in February 2018 when she signed a multi-year contract with the Dallas Wings.

While Liz’s WNBA journey has seen its fair share of ups and downs, her talent and her name etched in the record books for the highest-scoring game in WNBA history serve as a testament to her enduring legacy in the league.
