Brink first went down with the knee injury during a loss to the Connecticut Sun last June, just 15 games into her WNBA career. The former No. 2 overall pick had to be carried off the floor, and the team quickly confirmed that her ACL was torn. Brink had been sidelined ever since.

Brink's injury occurred in a June 19, 2024 game against the Connecticut Sun. The former Stanford star, national champion and Naismith Defensive Player of the Year took a slight bump on a drive to the basket, and her left leg buckled as she collapsed to the ground. She hobbled off the floor and received assistance on her way into the locker room.

Cameron Brink, drafted 2nd overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, had her rookie season cut short after tearing her ACL and meniscus in June, but is expected to return to action within the next few games.
