Angel Reese and Sabrina Ionescu lead WNBA stars in prayers for Cameron Brink after scary ACL injury: "Love you my Barbie doll"

In Tuesday night's game against Connecticut, Sparks rookie Cameron Brink suffered an ACL injury in her left knee. The incident occurred in the first quarter when her strong drive to the basket resulted in a slip. With Brink expected to miss the remainder of the season, several WNBA stars supported the young rookie.

The Sparks forward shared the news on her Instagram account where she highlighted her focused mindset on getting back healthy on the court.

"You never think it will happen to you," Brink posted. "And despite all the hard work sometimes it does. This is hard to fathom but I know it will only make me stronger. I will not be derailed and I will continue to love this life — I'm not defined by basketball, but it something that I love deeply and I will work everyday to get back to it."

Responding to the post were several WNBA stars such as Angel Reese and Sabrina Ionescu, who all banded together in the comments section out of support for Brink.

"Love you barbie doll!"
