Cameron Brink, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s WNBA draft, remains positive despite suffering a likely season-ending ACL tear in her left knee earlier this month.

The rising star recently shared her first update since the injury, posting a series of photos on her Instagram that showcase her resilience and optimism.

Brink captioned the post, “So much change, yet so much joy,” encapsulating her ability to find happiness amidst adversity.

In the three photos, Brink is seen smiling and enjoying moments with her boyfriend, Ben Felter, and their adorable dog, Olive.

The first photo in the series shows Brink using crutches and wearing a blue leg sleeve on her right leg.

She stands beside Felter, who is holding Olive in a carrying bag and snapping the picture.

Felter, a former member of Stanford’s rowing team, met Brink during their time at the university.

While Felter pursued excellence in rowing, Brink made her mark as the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year and a national champion in NCAA basketball.

The second photo captures the couple walking through a sun-filled parking lot, with Felter carrying Olive and Brink managing with crutches.

The final slide is a video of Olive playfully running on the grass, adding a touch of joy to the post.

In addition to the post, Brink shared an Instagram story showing herself holding Olive while lying on what appeared to be a physical therapy table.

She achieved a career-high 21 points in a close game against the Dallas Wings on May 26.

Brink was also set to represent Team USA in the 3-on-3 competition at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Unfortunately, her injury has led to her being replaced by Sparks teammate Dearica Hamby.
