Cameron Brink did everything she could to prepare, including connecting with Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn to seek advice on rehabbing from a torn ACL. But does all that really help?
Maybe it does. And that’s why, while Brink is officially back on the court, she’s not in the starting lineup. While many fans were expecting a headline-making return, Sparks head coach Lynne Roberts has already made it clear—Brink will come off the bench.
“Not to put too much pressure on Cam’s impact right now,” Roberts said, emphasizing the need for Brink to simply “be in the moment and not worry too much about missing a layup… play with gratitude.” But, yes, Sparks got their plan ready and as per the latest update, Sparks will ease Brink into the rotation with a clear minutes restriction, especially considering how deep their frontcourt already is—with Dearica Hamby, Rickea Jackson, and rookie Sania Feagin all contributing solidly during Brink’s absence.
But, despite not starting, Brink’s return is a significant emotional and physical milestone—not just for her, but for the Sparks as well. Majorly as the team is riding high on a five-game win streak and currently sits 10th in the WNBA standings. So, with the roster now fully healthy for the first time all season, the timing couldn’t be better!
