What Happened to Cameron Brink?
The incident occurred just minutes into the game on Tuesday, with the Sun leading 9-5 in the first quarter. Cameron Brink drove to the basket against Sun forward Brionna Jones, and as she planted her leg awkwardly, she collapsed to the floor in visible pain.
The 22-year-old immediately clutched her left knee and struggled to put weight on it, prompting the team staff to carry her back to the locker room for further evaluation. Following an assessment, the Sparks confirmed Brink's knee injury and ruled her out for the remainder of the game, which ended in a 79-70 victory for the Sun.
However, there is a chance this could be an ACL tear, which, if true, would result in a season-ending injury. Also, there could be a whole different story if an ACL tear is confirmed, as the average recovery time is eight months.
Although there is no word on the severity of the injury, depending on the final assessment, this could even lead to her unfortunately missing the Olympics.
