'I’m here to win, just win baby!' - Opals star Cambage re-signs with Aces

Australia international Liz Cambage has signed a new contract with the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA.

The Aces, runners up in last season's WNBA championship without Cambage, recently announced the re-signing of the Opals star centre.

“I’m so happy to be back in Las Vegas,” Cambage said last week, after flying in to the United States from Australia.

“I’m here to win, just win baby!”

Cambage received a medical exemption and did not participate in the 2020 WNBA season, which was held in a Florida 'bubble'.
However, back in Australia she led the Southside Flyers to the 2020 WNBL championship, and was the regular season top scorer.

Las Vegas, in her absence, comfortably made the playoffs and went all the way to the finals where they fell 3-0 to the Seattle Storm.

Aces power forward A'ja Wilson, though, was named 2020 WNBA MVP, so with Cambage too the club will be a huge threat for the 2021 season.

“We’re excited to have Liz back in an Aces uniform,” Aces head coach Bill Laimbeer said.

“Two years ago [in Cambage’s first year in Las Vegas] we made great strides towards becoming a championship ballclub. Last season, we continued along that journey but came up short.

"With Liz coming back, along with our other returnees and additions made this offseason in free agency, we are all committed to take another run at a championship and can’t wait to get started.”
