NEW YORK (AP) — Las Vegas Aces All-Star center Liz Cambage will miss the upcoming WNBA season after she was medically excused.
By being granted the medical exemption, Cambage will be paid her full salary for the season by the Aces. Had Cambage's request been denied by the panel she would have had to either go to Florida to the WNBA bubble or sit out the season and not get paid.
The Aces declared Cambage as a protected player who was at a high risk for getting severe illness if she contracted COVID-19.
