Cambage is still recovering from an earlier Achilles injury, but is rounding into form as the WNBA progresses.

“I am just getting back into it,” Cambage told The Pick and Roll in Las Vegas last week. “I was out for ten months and my first training session was a week before the season started. I am getting my game fitness and my touch back as the games go along. The first few games were super frustrating. I was missing shots that are normally my bread and butter. It’s all coming back, and it is just about being patient.”
