Cameron Brink hasn't played since June 8 but the LA Sparks forward is still making the rounds.

Following a short-lived rookie season, the Stanford product continues to recover from a torn ACL, but she has stayed busy, business-wise.

She was recently announced as an addition to Unrivaled, the new women's 3-on-3 professional basketball league.

It didn't take long before some of her colleagues took notice of it, with Skylar Diggins-Smith, who's also going to play in the league, reacting on social media.

"Tuh," Diggins-Smith wrote.

Brink, who is close to Stephen Curry, reportedly reached out to him to pick his brains about this endeavor, and he loved the idea.

"When the league was just forming, we did chat about it — and yeah, I think Steph is in full support of it," Brink said on Dec. 8, via PEOPLE. "He thinks it's a great idea and he knows I love the round three basketball."

Brink knows it's a different challenge, so she'll need to put a lot of work into her craft to succeed in the 3-on-3 league.

"It's just a really great way to train in a different way and build up your skill, not playing five-on-five," Brink said. "It's just going to be completely different and I think it's really going to aid people with their skills, everything. So yeah, [Curry] thinks it's a really cool thing."

Cameron Brink will have to wait to make her debut

Unfortunately, given her injury, Cameron Brink won't be able to play until the 2026 season. However, just being around the best players in the world will help her game.

"Obviously I won't be playing, but I will be supporting full-fledged," Brink said. "I think it's just going to be a really cool opportunity. Iron sharpens iron, so while I'm there, I'll be able to train with people and work on my game. It'll be really a huge year of growth for me — so, I'm really excited."

Unrivaled is going to great lengths to lift the women's game further, not only giving their players equity but also looking to keep them in the U.S. instead of playing abroad during the WNBA offseason.

"I hope it just brings more eyes to the sport, and honestly, more eyes to three-on-three," Brink said. "I think it just brings great eyes to different types of basketball. ... It's not your regular five-on-five. It is going to be more fast-paced, it's going to showcase people's talents in a different way."

Brink will look to pick up where she left off when she returns to the court next season, and the LA Sparks will welcome her rim protection and rebounding.
