Polarising Aussie basketball player Liz Cambage has courted controversy once again by getting ejected from a game in China for viciously elbowing one opponent in the head and hitting another in the face.
The former WNBA player and Australian Opal found her career on the rocks after allegedly making racial remarks toward the Nigerian national team in a warm-up match before the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Opals teammates and members of the Nigerian team alleged Cambage called her opponents 'monkeys' and told them to 'go back to your third world country' during a break in play.
That put her offside with her Los Angeles Sparks Nigerian-American teammates and she was ultimately released by the franchise.
Her comments also divided the Opals camp and she has since been blacklisted from ever representing her country again.
