WNBA Star Liz Cambage Opts Out of 2020 Season Due to Health Concerns
Las Vegas Aces All-Star center Liz Cambage is expected to miss the upcoming WNBA season. According to her agent, Cambage had a recent evaluation with her team doctor and is believed to be a high risk for severe illness if she contracts COVID-19. The 28-year-old star is one of a handful of cases that have gone before the league’s independent panel of doctors.
This panel decides whether a player would be medically excused and receive a full salary for the upcoming season. As of now, about a dozen WNBA players have decided to opt-out of playing this season. Teams head to Florida on Monday to quarantine before training camp begins.
