Cameron Brink Leaves 85-81 Sparks Loss After Collision With Breanna Stewart

Summary

  • Midway through the fourth quarter, Cameron Brink was helped off the floor after collapsing and clutching her abdomen following a collision with Breanna Stewart in the Sparks' 85-81 loss to the Liberty.
  • Stewart was assessed an offensive foul after her arm hit Brink's midsection; Brink stayed crouched in pain for several minutes and did not return, finishing with nine points, seven rebounds and three blocks in 19 minutes.
  • The injury adds to Brink's recent health setbacks: she missed a month after a June ankle sprain and lost most of her 2024 rookie season to a torn ACL that required surgery.
  • Los Angeles fell to 12-21 and sits seven games out of a playoff spot, raising the stakes around any extended absence for a player the Sparks view as a franchise cornerstone.
