Liz Cambage Incident During Australia's Scrimmage vs. Nigeria Under Investigation

Basketball Australia is investigating the circumstances of an incident involving Liz Cambage that happened during a scrimmage with Nigeria.

The organization said it's looking into the matter for a possible "breach of the integrity framework and code of conduct."

The incident preceded Cambage's withdrawal from the national team on July 15 ahead of the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Cambage announced on Instagram she was withdrawing because she didn't feel in the right frame of mind to compete. She said she had "been really worried about heading into a 'bubble' Olympics" without a support system outside of the Opals.
