Don't mess with Liz Cambage.

The three-time WNBA All-Star and dominant Las Vegas Aces center called out Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller for allegedly commenting on her size during a game between their teams on Sunday. In a scathing video posted to her Instagram story, Cambage said she's "very proud of being a big b—-" at 6-foot-8, 235 pounds and that she "will never let a man disrespect me – ever."

"Especially a little white one," Cambage said. "So to the coach of Connecticut – I'm sorry little sir man, I do not know your name. But the next time you try to call out a referee trying to get a call being like 'Come on, she's 300 pounds,' I'm gonna need you to get it right."

"Next time you try to disrespect me, remember I'm 235 [pounds]," she added. "It might seem like 300 pounds to your little ass, but I'm 235, baby."

Connecticut stayed undefeated on the season with its 72-65 win at the Mandalay Bay Events Center Sunday evening. But Miller likely couldn't celebrate his team's standing atop the WNBA due to the backlash from his ill-advised comments about Cambage.

In a statement released through the Sun Monday morning, Miller admitted to making "an inappropriate and offensive comment in reference to Liz Cambage's height and weight" and apologized to the Las Vegas star and her entire franchise for his words.

"I regret what I said in the heat of the moment and want to sincerely apologize to Liz and the entire Aces organization," Miller said in the statement. "I understand the gravity of my words and have learned from this."

It remains unclear whether Cambage has seen Miller's apology. Though she had not pubicly responded to the Connecticut statement at the time of this article's writing, Cambage left Miller with a warning in her Instagram story Sunday night: "Don't ever try to disrespect me or another woman in the league."

"You're so lucky it was during a game," she added. "You were so lucky that I was doing my job."
