Los Angeles Sparks forward
Cameron Brink will miss the rest of her WNBA rookie season and the Paris Olympics after suffering a torn ACL in her left knee during Tuesday's game against the
Connecticut Sun.
The Sparks announced the injury Wednesday. Brink, the No. 2 selection in the 2024 draft, had started all 15 games for the Sparks this season.
"You never think it will happen to you," Brink
wrote in a post to Instagram. "And despite all the hard work sometimes it does. This is hard to fathom but I know it will only make me stronger. I will not be derailed and I will continue to love this life -- I'm not defined by basketball, but it is something that I love deeply and I will work everyday to get back to it. It's not goodbye basketball it's just a see you later. I'm always so thankful for your thoughts and prayers."
