Free-agent center Liz Cambage has verbally agreed to play for the Los Angeles Sparks, ESPN reported.
Cambage, a four-time All-Star, averaged 14.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks last season for the Las Vegas Aces.
The 30-year-old joins a Sparks team aiming to rebound after missing the playoffs last season. Cambage is expected to provide a scoring punch with Nneka Ogwumike, who missed 14 games last season because of a sprained knee.
A 6-foot-8 center, Cambage is a two-time Olympian. In the 2012 London Games, she became the first woman ever to dunk in Olympic competition, and Team Australia won the bronze medal. She also played for the Opals in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
Cambage announced she wouldn’t play for Team Australia in the Tokyo Olympics, citing concern for her mental health.
