Cameron Brink made a return to the Los Angeles Sparks’ squad after a long injury absence. Immediately, WNBA analyst Sarah Spain predicted a better future for the Sparks following Brink’s return. Now, coming back after so many days, surely made everyone think that the Sparks’ star would be rusty.
But in reality, it was quite the opposite. Dominating the field right away, Brink matched the records of Candace Parker and Lisa Leslie. Unfortunately, her strong return came to a screeching halt when the Sparks’ star suffered another injury. Back in September, as the Sparks took on the Las Vegas Aces, Brink broke her nose, following a brutal elbow from NaLyssa Smith.
Now, after three months of the incident, Brink shared an update on her injury. And thankfully for her fans, the update was pretty upbeat.

Following the clash with Smith, Brink could be seen leaving with a bloodied face. Seemingly in writhing pain, the Spark’s star had to leave the match. After careful scrutiny of her injury, Brink had to unfortunately miss the rest of the season.
Thankfully, at the moment, Brink is having some good news to deliver to her fans. All set to play in her second season of Unrivaled, the WNBA star pointed out that she will be wearing a custom face mask to protect her face from further damage.
Uploading the video of her getting the face mask, Brink wrote, “I will be in this mask for a year- not risking breaking my nose again before my wedding!!!!!”
