Liz Cambage: WNBA player and adult content creator turns heads with new big money move

Liz Cambage has shocked fans by signing a new, $1 million deal with Sichuan.

Cambage's new deal is worth four times more than even the highest WNBA salaries, and it's only for three months!

The former LA Spark has a huge following on Instagram, but has shocked fans by removing all but 12 photos from her social media page. All that is left is photos of her in various states of undress.

The Aussie basketball star is returning to Chinese league following a stint in Israel. This came after she left the WNBA side the LA Sparks in August of 2022.

Cambage released a statement upon signing with Sichaun where she said, "I have always loved my time in China and I am really looking forward to getting out onto the court again. It's one of the strongest leagues in the world and I have played many seasons there over the year"

This is not the first time Cambage has raised eyebrows throughout her career. Let's take a look at what she's gotten up to so far.

Liz Cambage has spent the last 14 years playing professional basketball in Australia, China and the USA. Along the way, she has been involved in her fair share of controversies…

Cambage was born in London but soon moved to the birthplace of her mother. Back in Australia, Cambage would grow rapidly, reaching 6’5” by age 15, with three inches still left to grow. Naturally, she always gravitated towards basketball where she would play as a centre.

Cambage would impress as a young player in Australia and gain a scholarship to the prestigious Australian Institute of Sport.

During the 2011 WNBA draft, Cambage was selected second overall by the Tulsa Shock, never one to hold her tongue, the Australian did not hold back her displeasure.

When she was drafted Cambage stated, “I don't want to play at Tulsa, I've made that clear. They want to make me a franchise player, but I'm not going to the WNBA for that.”

After her outspoken distaste at playing for Tulsa, Cambage would only play around 50 games for the team, with a season spent in China in the middle. After the 2013 WNBA season wrapped, the Aussie would sign for Beijing Great Wall in the Chinese Woman’s Chinese Basketball Association.

In 2018, Cambage would return to the WNBA, signing with the Dallas Wings. Over the next 5 seasons, she would be named an All-Star three times, despite missing the 2020 season due to health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cambage was consistently an important player for the Australian national team and was expected to play an essential role in the Tokyo Olympics. She withdrew from the team just two weeks before the tournament, later it was discovered she had been caught racially abusing the Nigerian national team saying, "Go back to your Third World country".

Before withdrawing from the national team, Cambage had been outspoken in her support of the Black Lives Matter protests and had even called out the national team for “not representing” her, after using promotional images featuring only white Australian athletes.

In the summer of 2022, Cambage requested to be released from her contract with the Los Angeles Sparks stating she was stepping away from the WNBA. She signed for Maccabi Bnot Ashdod in Israel for the 2023 season and beyond.

Cambage had always been a prominent name in the WNBA during her time in the US and her Instagram account shows her popularity with over 1,000,000 followers.

In early 2022, Cambage decided to monetise her popularity by opening an account on an adult website where subscribers can pay to see raunchy pictures of the 6’8” Aussie.

In an interview with the Australian newspaper, The Herald Sun, Cambage said, "I was so scared to actually do it. But I had my friends and family push me and say, 'don't worry what anyone says – people are either going to love you or hate you regardless.’”

In the same interview, Cambage made her intentions clear, “Every other girl is on [that website] at the moment, all the influencers – so I thought, 'just do it'.”

With the Aussie already having a huge presence online, it is no surprise her page was successful.
