Sparks' Brink helped off with knee injury, ruled out
Written by I Dig SportsLos Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink was ruled out of Tuesday's game at the Connecticut Sun after suffering a knee injury in the first quarter.
Brink, the No. 2 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft out of Stanford, appeared to slip while driving to the basket at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Brink, 22, got up slowly and hobbled to the sideline, then was carried to the locker room by two staff members.
A 6-foot-4 forward, Brink has started every game this season for the Sparks and entered Tuesday averaging 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. Her blocks average is tied for second in the WNBA.
Brink, who won a national championship with Stanford in 2021, is on the four-member U.S. women's 3x3 team for the Paris Olympics.
