Elizabeth Cambage has finally joined the WCBA after a few stints here and there. Recently, the ex-Sparks player has been making headlines for various reasons. However, a rather sad one came this Monday when she posted a story on Instagram mourning the tragic loss of a fellow Australian entrepreneur in just five words, “An icon gone too soon”.
Australian DJ Courtney Mills tragically passed away after a fall from a balcony while on holiday in Bali. She succumbed to her injuries on Sunday, leaving behind a grieving community including Cambage, who shared her RIP post on Instagram.
Interestingly, both Cambage and Mills shared a similar career choice aside from sports and music. They were active on the adult platform Onlyfans, with Cambage revealing that her earnings from this surpassed her WNBA salary.

Known for her controversial views and free-thinking approach to the sport, Cambage has shifted to the WCBA for a better salary, reflecting her outspoken stance on pay discrepancies in women’s sports.
