Cameron Brink shares honest feelings about playing in Unrivaled amid ACL rehab
Ahead of the start of Unrivaled's inaugral season on Jan. 17 in Miami, Cameron Brink has been listed as out from participating for the Lunar Owls due to a torn left ACL. Although the 6-foot-4 forward shared that she "feels great," she has not been able to participate in on-court activities during the first three days of practice at Unrivaled.
"I'm not able to do a ton," Brink said. "I'm just really appreciative that I'm able to be here and that my teammates are super accepting of me and cheering me on from the sidelines. I haven't been able to do a ton, but (am doing) more and more every day."
Cameron Brink tore her left knee's ACL during a WNBA matchup in June, which ended her rookie season and also kept her from playing on the USA 3x3 team at the Paris Olympics. The second overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft underwent surgery in July and signed a two-year deal with Unrivaled five months after the surgery.
"It means a lot to be here and that the Unrivaled team and people want me here to see what's going on for next year," Brink said.
"It's a great opportunity," Brink continued. "[Unrivaled] invited me, so I said why not take advantage of being around the best players [and] have great teammates. I hope to get stronger and advance in my recovery process."
In the 15 games she played for the LA Sparks in her rookie season, Cameron Brink averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.3 blocks while shooting 39.8% from the field and 32.3% from beyond the arc.
