Liz Cambage in hot water over 'dirty' on-court act

Aussie basketball star Liz Cambage is reportedly under investigation over a play that's been labelled 'dirty' and a 'dog act'.

According to News Corp, the WNBL has launched a probe into the play that saw Melbourne Boomers forward Cambage appear to intentionally injure an opponent.

As you can see in the video above, Canberra's Mistie Bass tumbled to the floor in pain and had to be substituted after a clash with Cambage during Melbourne's 96-66 victory on Saturday.

Bass was looking up at the ring and facing away from Cambage when the Aussie Opals star appeared to lift her knee into Bass's leg as she was moving forward.

The nasty incident seemed to have gone unnoticed, but fan furore has sparked the WNBL into action.

Cambage is back in the WNBL after stints in the WNBA and China.

The 26-year-old is leading the competition with 22.58 average points per game.
