NEW YORK — Cameron Brink can see the light at the end of the tunnel. She’s been out for 13 months after tearing the ACL in her left knee in a game at Connecticut in June last season. Now she’s been cleared to play again and is eager to get back on the court with her Los Angeles Sparks teammates.

Brink's injury occurred in a June 19, 2024 game against the Connecticut Sun. The former Stanford star, national champion and Naismith Defensive Player of the Year took a slight bump on a drive to the basket, and her left leg buckled as she collapsed to the ground. She hobbled off the floor and received assistance on her way into the locker room.
