Overview

  • Brink marked her first WNBA game in 13 months on July 29 at Crypto.com Arena, totaling five points, three rebounds, a steal and a block in 14 minutes.
  • She drained a three-pointer with her first shot attempt upon returning from a season-ending ACL and meniscus injury sustained in June 2024.
  • Head coach Lynne Roberts said Brink appeared more comfortable on the court than expected despite a strict 15-minute limit.
  • The Sparks’ five-game winning streak ended in an 89-74 loss to the Las Vegas Aces, but teammates praised Brink’s energy and competitiveness.
  • The team views her seamless comeback as laying the groundwork for sustained defensive improvement as she builds back toward full game shape.
