Her torn ACL last summer prevented her from returning to the court until recently for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>But already she&#8217;s shown her defensive prowess, ranking first in the WNBA in blocked shots since she got back on the court despite still ramping up her minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Brink is capable of doing almost anything on the floor. It&#8217;s why she was the No. 2 overall pick in 2024 out of Stanford, behind just Caitlin Clark. Brink is even shooting 46.7% from 3-point range in a small sample size since coming back, which would be a major boost to an already impressive all-around game.<\/p>\n<p>She proved as a rookie that she was ready for the spotlight, with only the injury able to slow her down.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Brink is back, she&#8217;s providing the Sparks a glimpse at what the future can look like.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a franchise, they&#8217;ve already enjoyed the brilliance of Leslie, and of Parker, and of Ogwumike.<\/p>\n<p>Next up in the frontcourt is Brink, and she truly looks ready to carry on that mantle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0<\/strong><a target=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/us\/wnba\/indiana-fever\/news\/fevers-lexie-hull-career-milestone-vs-sky-mom-daughter-defense\/1c1fc698f9e9a00f03d3a7fe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Indiana Fever&#8217;s Lexie Hull reaches incredible career milestone after mom defends her<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cameron Brink is keeping quite the company.
