Cameron Brink Eyes WNBA Return After ACL Injury
Sparks Star Shares Gym Progress Amid Recovery
Injured Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink is generating buzz with a recent training video, signaling a potential return to the court after a significant ACL tear.
Progress on the Court
The No. 2 overall pick from the 2024 WNBA Draft, Brink has been sidelined since tearing her ACL last June. A recent Instagram story update showed the 23-year-old focusing on quad extensions, a key exercise for regaining strength and mobility in her injured left leg.

Optimistic Outlook
Sparks head coach Lynn Roberts offered a positive update, telling the LA Times that Brink is targeting a return by the end of July. Fans have expressed their eagerness for her comeback on social media.
Brink herself shared her gratitude for the organization’s support during her recovery: I’m thankful that I’m not getting any pressure from the organisation. The Sparks are doing a really good job of just supporting me fully through this process.
Statistical Impact
Prior to her injury, Brink demonstrated significant promise in her rookie campaign. In 15 games, she averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 22 minutes per game. Her absence has impacted the Sparks, who currently hold a 8-14 record, placing them 10th in the league standings.
The forward also missed the inaugural season of the women’s 3-on-3 basketball league, Unrivaled. Brink stated in May that she was feeling “great” thanks to the team’s dedicated efforts in her rehabilitation.
