Aussie former NBA star Andrew Bogut has claimed former Opals captain Jenna O'Hea only revealed a very sanitised version of Liz Cambage's alleged slur against the Nigerian basketball team when she said the controversial star told them to 'go back to your third world country'.
O'Hea confirmed those were the words Cambage uttered when she was asked about the infamous brawl between the two national teams on ABC TV's Offsiders program on Sunday.
Australia was playing a closed warm-up game against Nigeria just weeks ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in July 2021 and the incident led to Cambage pulling out of the Opals because of 'mental health' concerns.
But according to Bogut, O'Hea didn't reveal the whole truth about the insult.
