Overview

  • Cameron Brink made her first WNBA appearance in 13 months, nailing a three-pointer with her very first shot in the Sparks’ 89-74 loss to the Las Vegas Aces.
  • Under a 14-minute restriction, Brink totaled five points, three rebounds, one block, one steal and a plus-7 plus-minus rating.
  • Head coach Lynne Roberts said Brink looked more comfortable than expected and plans to gradually build her minutes toward 20 to 25 per game.
  • Brink admitted she was initially nervous but felt “like riding a bike” once she found her rhythm on court.
  • The Sparks snapped their five-game win streak and fell to 11-15 as they seek defensive reinforcement from their No. 2 overall 2024 draft pick.
