LA Sparks center Cameron Brink showed her support for fellow rising star Aliyah Boston on Instagram this Tuesday. Brink praised the Indiana Fever All-Star, who recently debuted a new hair color, sharing kind words on social media.
Boston showed off her new caramel-colored braids last week, a departure from the black with streaks she had worn throughout much of the 2024 WNBA season. She shared photos of her updated look on Instagram, captioning the post:
"The main attraction 🖤
Cameron Brink was one of many Instagram users who commented, writing:
"You’re the cutest."
Both Brink and Boston are two of the WNBA’s star young centers. Brink, part of an exciting 2024 rookie class that includes Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, had her promising rookie season cut short by an ACL injury.
Before her setback, she averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.3 blocks per game.
Meanwhile, Boston, in her sophomore season, averaged 14.0 ppg, 8.9 rpg and 3.2 apg for the Fever, where she played with the phenomenal Clark, who won the Rookie of the Year award. Together, they steered the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016, although they fell to the Connecticut Sun in straight games.
Cameron Brink drops major offseason news, announces engagement to longtime boyfriend Ben Felter
Cameron Brink had major news during her offseason, announcing her engagement to her longtime boyfriend, Ben Felter. The LA Sparks center shared the news on Instagram in late September, revealing that Felter proposed in a romantic setting at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The couple, who had been dating for over three years, met at Stanford, where Brink played basketball and Felter was on the men’s rowing team.
“Yes in every lifetime 🤍♾️,” she captioned the post.
Brink's fiancee, Ben Felter, graduated in June with a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Stanford and is now pursuing a master’s degree at the same university.
After interning as a software engineer at a cryptocurrency startup in 2022, Felter has since worked part-time as a machine learning engineer at Chegg and as a space portfolio analyst for the Defense Innovation Unit, a branch of the U.S. Department of Defense. He has also been a researcher at Stanford's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory since May 2023.
