Sparks rookie starter Cameron Brink suffers torn ACL, expected to miss seasonSparks rookie starter Cameron Brink suffers torn ACL - Los Angeles Times

Sparks rookie star Cameron Brink tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during the team’s loss to the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday, a serious blow for a squad that was relying heavily on young talent.

The Sparks announced the injury but did not share further details, including any plans for treatment. The injury typically ends a basketball player’s season and requires a nine- to 10-month recovery period, although some professional athletes have returned to play more quickly.

Brink, the No. 2 overall draft pick out of Stanford, entered the Connecticut road game averaging 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks a game in her first season for the Sparks. She’s tied with A’ja Wilson for the second-most blocks in the WNBA. Brink was coming off a 16-point performance against the Atlanta Dream on Sunday.

Brink misstepped while driving against Brionna Jones early in the first quarter of Tuesday’s loss and was carried off the court. The Sparks turned to 6-foot-7 Li Yueru, and the second-year center had one of the best games of her young career with 11 points, shooting five for six, plus two rebounds and two assists.
