Opals legend Lauren Jackson says she ‘knows’ Liz Cambage will sort out her differences with the AOC in time for the Tokyo Games, and backed the star for expressing her opinions | sarah_keoghan SMHsport

Asked if she hoped the issue would be sorted in time for Cambage to travel to the Games, Jackson said: “Hope? I know it will.”

The threat left Basketball Australia officials scrambling to get in contact with the WNBA star to confirm whether she legitimately intended not to travel. Cambage is currently in the US preparing with the Las Vegas Aces for the upcoming WNBA star. She has been a part of the Opals in the last two Olympics and is one of their most instrumental players.

sarah_keoghan SMHsport So if our Olympic committee shows her where our Australian athletes came from she will shut the fuck up. The worst attempt at remaining relevant I've heard of. Her team mates should tell her to get back in the box.

sarah_keoghan SMHsport LOL Cambage thinks she's indispensable to the team. Ezi Magbegor will eventually be a better player than she ever was and I'm happy for Magbegor to get some experience. It's a ridiculous protest...important thing is we have POC athletes competing...who cares about a promo photo?

sarah_keoghan SMHsport You mean, Liz will grow up fast and keep her megalomania under control when she realises nobody cares about her opinions? And realise that apart from tossing a ball through a hoop she has nothing much to offer the world? Like, yes. I bet she will.

Chip + shoulder Focus on talking selfies with her instead of focusing on the job ahead sounds like a plan
