NEW YORK -- Its been a difficult few years for Australia basketball star Liz Cambage, on and off the court.She says shes grown up while dealing with injuries and an ongoing battle with depression.I feel like Im ready and healthy, Cambage told The Associated Press. Its been a long road back, but Im so excited for the Olympics.The 24-year-old will be key if Australia is going to continue its streak of medaling in every Olympics since 1996. Her physical problems started when she tore her Achilles before the 2014 world championship and couldnt play in that tournament. Australia finished a disappointing fifth. It was a tough road back from the injury, but Cambage said shes in the best shape shes ever been in.Ive been working on my fitness and it really shows, she said.She helped Australia go 2-1 in a pre-Olympic tour last week in the U.S. She had 22 points in a loss to the Americans on Sunday despite being saddled by foul trouble. Her size and strength make her a difficult matchup for anyone.Theres no one in the world like her because of her size and strength, U.S. center Sylvia Fowles said. Shes tough to guard.Cambage has also been working on her mental health. She admitted to Australian media last month that she has battled depression since she was a teenager. She confirmed that with the AP.Its something that Ive been constantly working on, Cambage said. Ive been getting help.Cambage admits she has made some mistakes over the last year. She missed an Australian training camp to attend a music concert in 2015 which didnt go over well with the coaching staff and teammates. She was also criticized for being outspoken on social media when a teammate dressed up as Kanye West at a party, complete with blackface.She has grown over the last few years and like all athletes gone through her ups and downs and questioned themselves, Australia coach Brendan Joyce said. One thing that Joyce doesnt want to see Cambage lose is her playful personality. She still exhibits a youthful exuberance whether shes bounding off the court, or joking with the media in the mix zone. She proudly sports a lion tattoo above her elbow. No, its not in honor of the Lion King shes quick to point out. Its her Zodiac sign. Shell celebrate her 25th birthday in Rio.She burst onto the international basketball scene at the 2010 world championship and then was taken at No. 2 by Tulsa in the 2011 WNBA draft. Being nearly 9,500 miles away from Australia didnt help her mentally and left her homesick.I was so far from home and was so young it just was a difficult situation, she said.That depression resurfaced after her last Olympics in 2012.Youre on such a high at the Olympics, she said. Its the pinnacle of sports and youre representing your country and then when its finished you drop down to such a low. Its like whats next? I have matured. It is four years later and I am still the same crazy kid deep down inside.She made a splash at the London Games, becoming the first woman to dunk in the Olympics. She has bigger goals in Rio.Its a pretty cool thing to have done, but there are other goals I want to accomplish, Cambage said. Winning a gold medal for Australia would be unbelievable.Cambage said when the Olympics end shell take some time off to relax. Unfortunately for WNBA fans she said she wouldnt potentially rejoin the league until maybe 2019.I really like Dallas, I talked to coach Fred Williams when we were training there, she said. I want to relax next year and then in 2018 we have the Commonwealth Games and the world championship again. Australia will always be my No. 1 priority.She hopes she can lead Australia to new heights in Rio.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinbergNike Vapormax Halvalla . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.

Darren Helm scored on Detroits sixth attempt in the shootout and then Jonas Gustavsson stopped Andrew Shaws shot, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.ST. LOUIS -- Tuesday nights rainout will sprout a major league debut on Sunday night.In need of a sixth starter after a Wednesday day-night doubleheader forced their hand, the St. Louis Cardinals will call up 24-year-old right-hander Mike Mayers to work the rubber game of their weekend series with the Los Angeles Dodgers in Busch Stadium.A third-round pick in the 2013 first-year player draft out of Ole Miss, the same program that produced St. Louis starter Lance Lynn, Mayers is 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA between Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis.Earning a promotion after going 5-2 with a 2.30 ERA in nine starts at Springfield, Mayers pitched to a 2.94 ERA in nine starts at Memphis, particularly impressive considering how hitter-friendly the Pacific Coast League is.Hes been throwing well, St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said of Mayers. Hes had a nice season, and hes gone about it the right way.Mayers first MLB game is a potentially big one for the Cardinals (52-45), which had a five-game winning streak snapped by Los Angeles on Saturday night in a sloppy 7-2 loss. A win would cap the seasons best homestand at 7-3 and give St. Louis momentum going into a 10-game road trip.Meanwhile, the Dodgers (55-44) are looking to polish off a nine-game road trip with a winning mark. Their win Saturday night was a nice bounceback after a bitter 16-inning loss in Friday nights series opener that saw them use nine pitchers.That game was exactly what we needed after last night, Los Angeles manager Daave Roberts said.dddddddddddd. It was as scripted as we could have possibly hoped.Kenta Maedas 5 2/3-inning start wasnt as long as he wanted, but relievers Luis Avilan and Ross Stripling combined to work the last 10 outs with little opposition, enabling a tired bullpen to gain a bit of a breather.Left-hander Scott Kazmir (8-3, 4.30 ERA) hopes to pick up his second win of the year over the Cardinals. On May 14, Kazmir came within an out of a complete game, settling for a 5-3 decision at Dodger Stadium.Kazmir is coming off an excellent performance Tuesday night in an 8-4 win at Washington, where he cruised through seven innings. Kazmir gave up just four hits and a run, walked none and fanned eight in an efficient 88-pitch outing.If the past week is any indication, Kazmir might have some runs to stuff into his back pocket. Los Angeles is averaging five runs per game this week and has outhit St. Louis 27-14 in this series.Given that the Dodgers have no idea when All-Star left-hander Clayton Kershaw (back) is going to return from an injury that has sidelined him for nearly a month, they need the offense to continue their recent surge.I think were trending in the right direction offensively, Roberts said. Its nice to know you can win games when youre not playing your best. Our focus has been on the day to day, and if we can continue that, were going to be OK. ' ' '
