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.

The second-year forward, who tore an ACL last season, will not play Saturday night at New York but the Sparks play three of their next four games at home.

Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink is still working her way back to the court after suffering a torn ACL in her left knee last June, but she sees the "light at the end of the tunnel" toward an imminent return.
