Cameron Brink just might be returning to the WNBA floor sooner than we all think.

On Wednesday, July 9, sports reporter Justin Russo shared a video to X showing Brink back on the court with the Sparks — mostly. Russo made sure to note Brink was "participating in skeleton work" alongside her teammates, one step closer to returning her to the game.

Brink, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, suffered a torn ACL and meniscus during the Sparks' June 18, 2024, game against the Connecticut Sun and has been missing in action since. Brink recently noted the injury is "surgically repaired," so the next step is to get back into WNBA-ready shape. 

ESPN's Holly Rowe previously reported Brink plans to be back in time for the All Star Break, which kicks off next week on July 18.
