Cameron Brink Returns to Action Against the Las Vegas Aces
She's back! After a long year recovering from a torn ACL that she suffered as a rookie, former Stanford women's basketball star, Cameron Brink, returned to the floor on July 29 and made her season debut against the Las Vegas Aces. While she played sparingly, Brink's return was very encouraging.
Playing 14 minutes off the bench, Brink scored five points while recording three rebounds and an assist in the 89-74 loss. The Sparks, who now fall to 11-15, are 10th in the WNBA standings but are still very much alive in the playoff chase. With Brink in her ramp-up period, getting her back more on a full-time basis could provide a major spark and give Los Angeles what it needs to make the playoffs.
Normally a small forward and a power forward, the Sparks have been starting Rickea Jackson and Dearica Hamby this season in Brink's absence. But now, the Sparks depth just got a whole lot better, with many more lineup options opening up for them.
Tearing her ACL in a June 18, 2024 game against the Connecticut Sun, the Sparks were unable to bounce back after losing their star, finishing 8-32--their worst record in franchise history.
