Sparks prepare to play rest of season without star rookie Cameron Brink, who tore her ACL
Kia Nurse offered words of encouragement to her Los Angeles Sparks teammate Cameron Brink
NEW YORK (AP) — Kia Nurse offered words of encouragement to her Los Angeles Sparks teammate Cameron Brink.
The veteran guard knows exactly what the rookie is going through, having torn her ACL in 2021. Brink tore the ACL in her left knee in Tuesday's loss to Connecticut. She's still talking to doctors to figure out when she'll have surgery, coach Curt Miller said after the team's shootaround Thursday before a game against New York.
“What happened to Cam was unfortunate and I've been there, I feel for her,” Nurse said. “We've got her in our hearts and prayers as she goes through this. She'll be around us when she can be.”
Nurse said she's talked to Brink a few times already and offered to be a sounding board for questions that the 22-year-old center may have.
