NEW YORK — Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The No. 2 pick of the 2024 WNBA draft after an All-America senior season at Stanford, she has been out for 13 months since tearing the ACL in her left knee in a game against the Connecticut Sun just 15 games into her rookie season.
Now she’s been cleared to play again and is eager to get back on the court with her L.A. teammates.
“I feel great. I’m super thankful that the Sparks have let me take my time and really feel great coming back,” Brink said to a few reporters after Saturday’s shootaround before the Sparks faced the New York Liberty, the reigning WNBA champions. “I’m excited to be out there with my teammates.”
Brink has been working toward playing in a game. After the Sparks finished their shootaround, she went to the Barclays Center practice court and got in another 20-minute workout.
