Sparks' Cameron Brink breaks silence on recovery after ACL injury

Sparks’ Cameron Brink breaks silence on recovery after ACL injury

Sparks' Cameron Brink is keeping her head up

After suffering a torn ACL last Tuesday night against the Connecticut Sun, Brink expressed her obvious disappointment in an Instagram post. But she also made sure to mention that she is “not defined by basketball.” While the former Stanford Cardinals star is extremely determined to return next year better than ever, she is still enjoying life.

“So much change, yet so much joy,” Brink posted, along with photos and a video of her (with crutches) spending time with her boyfriend and dog. It is difficult for a professional athlete to separate the pain of their job from their everyday life, but it is essential. The No. 2 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft is not taking for granted the other things she is fortunate enough to cherish, beyond just basketball.
