The Los Angeles Sparks chose Cameron Brink as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Since then, the 24-year-old has faced numerous obstacles in her career.
Her rookie season was abruptly ended after only 14 games due to an ACL tear on June 18, 2024. This injury also affected her 2025 season. Brink managed a comeback on July 29, 2025, appearing in just 19 games that year.
In her third season, Brink aimed to make significant strides, being fully healthy. However, another setback occurred during the Sparks’ 78-58 defeat to the Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup.
Reporting from the game, ESPN’s Kendra Andrews noted, “Cameron Brink started limping toward the bench before taking a seat on the floor before she got there. Her teammates are now helping her up to a seat. Not quite sure what happened. She stood in the corner for a bit and is now walking off the court under her own power.”
Following the game, Sparks head coach Lynne Roberts mentioned, “She’s getting evaluated right now.” Sparks beat reporter John W. Davis later stated that Brink is ruled out with a left ankle injury for the upcoming game against the Minnesota Lynx.
Fans hope that Brink’s absence from play will be brief. Despite her challenges, Brink has managed to deliver an average of 9.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.1 assists over 14 games for the Sparks, who currently hold a 7-7 record.
