WNBA rookie Cameron Brink steps out in heels to support LA Sparks teammates just THREE weeks after season-ending injury
Cameron Brink is not being held back by an injury that is making her season impossible, and continues to walk on high heels.
Just three weeks after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament, the fashionable WNBA rookie stepped onto the court in a pair of black knee-high boots, sans brace.
The 22-year-old Brink, who has been sidelined indefinitely since suffering an injury during the LA Sparks’ game against the Connecticut Sun last month, was on hand to cheer on her team Tuesday night.
She posted a video to her Instagram Story, showing off her multi-colored tank top, black-and-white mini skirt, and black leather jacket.
She wore trendy sunglasses and carried a leg brace in her hand, which she wore with the name of fashion chain Revolve.

Brink recently underwent surgery and is recovering with the help of her boyfriend, Ben Felter.

“You never think it will happen to you. And despite all the hard work, sometimes it does. It’s hard to fathom, but I know it will only make me stronger,” Brink wrote in an Instagram post last month after confirming the torn ACL.
“I’m not going to go off the rails and I’m going to continue to love this life. Basketball is not my definition, but it’s something I love very much and I’m going to work every day to get back into it,” she added.
“It’s not a farewell basketball game, it’s just a see you later. I’m always so grateful for your thoughts and prayers.”
Not only will she miss the remainder of the WNBA season, but she will also be sidelined ahead of this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris after being selected to Team USA’s 3×3 women’s basketball team.
