Sparks fans, stay tuned.
Cameron Brink Posts 'Proof of Life' Update as Injury Recovery Goes Well originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink may not be back on the court just yet, but her latest social media post has fans hopeful that her return is just around the corner.
Brink, who has been recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus suffered in June 2024, was recently listed as “doubtful” for the Sparks’ game against the New York Liberty, the first time all season she hasn’t been fully ruled out. That change in status is a strong hint that her comeback could happen soon.
Adding to the excitement, Brink posted a carousel of photos and a video on Instagram that gave fans a glimpse into her recovery journey. The slides included snapshots of her sideline appearances, mirror selfies and quality time with her family and fiancé.
“Proof of life,” she wrote in the caption — short, but telling.
“Soonnnn🙂↕️💞💞💞,” teammate Rickea Jackson replied, echoing the optimism surrounding Brink’s potential return.
The final slide of the post was a video showing Brink training her leg and knee, giving followers a look at her ongoing rehab work. Though brief, it was a clear signal that she’s been putting in the effort behind the scenes.
The 6-foot-4 forward hasn’t played since June 18, 2024, when she was injured in a matchup against the Connecticut Sun. She underwent surgery and has spent the past year focused on recovery, while still making waves off the court, whether through fashion-forward tunnel looks or keeping fans entertained with glimpses into her life.
Thursday’s win over the Sun marked her first road trip with the team since the injury. While she didn’t suit up, Brink’s courtside presence made a statement. Wearing a white miniskirt and powder blue jacket, her look quickly made rounds online.
In her rookie season, Brink averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 15 games. With the Sparks sitting just outside playoff contention at 10–14, her return could be a critical boost as they push toward the postseason.
If she doesn't play Saturday, the next opportunity will be Tuesday against the Las Vegas Aces. But from the looks of it, both on social media and the injury report, Cameron Brink is getting close to her comeback on the court.
