LA Sparks forward Cameron Brink is set to return to the court on Friday for the team’s game against the Dallas Wings at College Park Center. Brink’s health has been closely monitored in recent days, and her availability is a critical factor as the Sparks seek to bolster their playoff chances.
Since her WNBA debut last season, Brink has been an important contributor for the Sparks, but frequent injuries, including a significant ACL tear, have limited her playing time. After coming back from that injury earlier this month, Brink faced another potential setback during her last game against the New York Liberty, where she left the game early with a minor injury concern.
She saw just five minutes of action in the Sparks’ 105-97 loss at Crypto.com Arena, recording two points and three rebounds. Despite the limited time and the scare, recent updates show that Brink has been removed from the injury list and is expected to suit up against Dallas. This suggests the team is optimistic about her condition going forward.
Since returning to play, Brink has appeared in seven games, maintaining an average of nearly 13 minutes on the floor. In those appearances, she has contributed 6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game while shooting a strong 55.5% from the field. Her defensive presence and efficiency remain valuable assets for the Sparks.
Brink participated fully in the Sparks’ training session on Thursday, indicating her readiness for Friday’s matchup. She is likely to come off the bench, consistent with her role since rejoining the lineup, as Los Angeles continues to manage her minutes carefully. With the Sparks currently sitting at 15-17 and holding the ninth spot in the standings, every win is crucial. A victory tonight could push them into the final playoff position as they battle to secure a postseason berth.
