In May,former Australia captain Jenna O’Hea said a Cambage jibe about Nigeria being a Third World country led to a brawl at a pre-Olympic warm up game in Las Vegas last year.

Cambage,who was born in London to an Australian mother and Nigerian father,subsequently pulled out of the Australia squad for the Tokyo Olympics citing mental health issues and was later formally reprimanded by Basketball Australia over the incident.

The London 2012 bronze medallist has acknowledged “there was a physical altercation and there were words exchanged” in the game against Nigeria.
