After more than a year away from the court, Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink is planning her highly anticipated return.
The No. 2 overall pick in last season’s WNBA Draft suffered a devastating ACL tear early in her rookie campaign, forcing her to miss nearly the entire season. Brink had been targeting a return early in the 2025 season, but she wasn’t medically cleared when the year tipped off.
Now, following months of intense rehab and recovery, the former Stanford standout has finally been cleared for game action.
Speaking with reporters, Brink confirmed that she plans to suit up on Tuesday night when the Sparks take on the Las Vegas Aces.
“I'm very excited,” Brink said. “It’s no easy thing to come back from.”

Brink’s return couldn’t come at a better time for the Sparks, who are looking to gain momentum heading into the second half of the season. At 11-14, Los Angeles finds itself ranked 10th in the WNBA standings. Only 1.5 games separate the Sparks from the Aces in 7th place.
Brink's presence on both ends of the court could be a game-changer as the Sparks aim to solidify their playoff positioning.
