Sparks Cameron Brink Exits Game Against the Sun; Carried to Locker Room
Not looking good. Not looking good at all. Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink exits the game against the Sun and is even carried away to the locker room.
Being carried away is not very reassuring for fans. However, it is also a good move by trainers. Getting all weight off the injured area so as not to further aggravate things.
Nonetheless, how did Brink come to be hurt? The “no contact” injury occurs right at the start of the game in the first quarter. The Sparks F (Cameron Brink) tried to drive past the Sun’s C Brionna Jones. Brink fell instantly and screamed in pain.
Cameron’s teammates immediately swarm to aid her. They attempt to help her stand up and the first attempt is unsuccessful. Sparks teammates are able to assist Cameron to stand, but she immediately heads off the court.
Brink works to get herself to the side; but clearly limping off the court. She was then carried to the locker room by trainers. During numerous replays of the incident, it looks as though Cameron Brink’s left knee suddenly gives out. Leaving her no choice but to fall down.
Furthermore, this injury could have more implications than just Brink’s presence in the WNBA. The conversation shifts to what shall happen at this year’s Paris Olympics. Cameron had been selected by committee to compete for Team USA during the women’s basketball 3×3 event.
Brink is on the 3×3 roster along with Rhyne Howard, Cierra Burdick and Hailey Van Lith. Being dubbed as the “Paris Four.”

Until more details come to light; what shall happen to the Paris roster will be slightly “up in the air.” However, if Brink’s injury is indeed serious; she will need to be replaced. With some suggesting this could open the door for other WNBA rookies to have a shot. Obvious choices would be Rickea Jackson and Angel Reese since they also play the forward position; therefore, having a similar skillset to Brink. Yet, no doubt Caitlin Clark would also be in the conversation.
Nevertheless, we hope the best for Cameron and that this injury she sustained is not severe. The Paris Olympics officially begin on July 26th. Hopefully good news will emerge from Brink’s camp and we can get back to watching her great performances in the WNBA and hopefully at that the summer Olympics.
