The WNBA has lost a major talent for the rest of the season as star Los Angeles Sparks rookie forward Cameron Brink suffered a torn ACL on Tuesday.
It’s a major loss for the Sparks and for WNBA fans who have enjoyed watching this rookie class, as Brink was a major part of bringing in new fans to the league along with names like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
After news broke of Brink’s season-ending injury, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley shared a very kind message of support for Brink from her Twitter (X) account.
“Prayers up Cam!” Staley wrote. “Know your basketball family want nothing but for you to get healed up and back out there! Love!”

It’s great to see a person like Staley cheering Brink on after her injury, and we’re all hoping to see the Sparks rookie back on the court sooner than later.
Reese, NBA legend Magic Johnson and UConn star Paige Bueckers also offered Brink words of support after she got injured.
