Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink has torn ACL
Los Angeles Sparks rookie center Cameron Brink has a torn ACL in her left knee.
The Sparks announced the injury on Wednesday. Brink injured her knee Tuesday night against the Connecticut Sun, and she underwent further evaluation on Wednesday.
Brink suffered the injury in the first quarter while driving to the basket. Her knee buckled, and she fell to the floor in pain. She required help from her teammates to her feet and was eventually carried off the floor by trainers.
The news is a tough blow for Brink, the Sparks, the WNBA and Team USA. Brink is one of the WNBA’s brightest young stars after joining the the Sparks as the No. 2 pick in the draft out of Stanford.
In 15 games, she’s averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.1 steals per game. A month into her career, she’s already one of the league’s most popular players on the court and on social media.
Brink was recently selected as a member of Team USA’s 3×3 basketball team for the upcoming Paris Olympics. Team USA will now have to select a replacement ahead of the Games that start July 26.
