Brink's injury occurred in a June 19, 2024 game against the Connecticut Sun. The former Stanford star, national champion and Naismith Defensive Player of the Year took a slight bump on a drive to the basket, and her left leg buckled as she collapsed to the ground. She hobbled off the floor and received assistance on her way into the locker room.

Brink was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft behind Caitlin Clark. She played 15 games before her injury, averaging 21.9 minutes per night. She put up 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Cameron Brink has been cleared to play again after a 13-month recovery from an ACL tear in her left knee. She was injured in a game last June.
