Cameron Brink Shared Her Frustrating Interaction With WNBA Reporter Amid Injury Rehab

Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink has enjoyed a mostly smooth recovery process since suffering a torn ACL last June, but as with any injury rehab, there’s been some bumps along the way.

Brink was named to the Lunar Owls squad in the 3-on-3 women’s startup basketball league, Unrivaled, ahead of its inaugural season that kicked off this January. The former No. 2 pick of the 2024 WNBA draft has been seen shooting the ball during practices while wearing a leg brace but will sit out her first season in Unrivaled.

While Brink has still made herself available to reporters for team media sessions, one interaction left a particularly sour taste in her mouth.

“I was doing some media for press when I was in Miami for Unrivaled and three different reporters asked me if I was playing,” Brink said on her new podcast, Straight to Cam with Sydel Curry-Lee. “And honestly, looking back on it, I'm very sensitive. This has been the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, and so just being prompted like that especially when I don’t feel like it’s on my own terms to talk about, I just get very emotional about it.

“The reporter asked me, ‘So what specifically are you able to do? And like, why are you here, basically?’ And I just sat there and I kind of lost it.”
