Cameron Brink’s major career announcement ‘sparks’ excitement around the WNBA
After starring as the anchor of the Stanford Cardinal, Cameron Brink became the #2 overall selection in the 2024 WNBA Draft — one spot behind Caitlin Clark. Now the centerpiece of the Los Angeles Sparks‘ rebuild, Brink began her rookie season in fine form for a growing, maturing team with a championship history.
But in a cruel twist of fate, Brink’s rookie season in the WNBA ended prematurely due to a torn ACL in her left knee. Brink continues to rehabilitate the injury six months after she sustained it, but exciting news about her future has come to light that promises to alter the course of her nascent pro career.
Brink to join Unrivaled
The offseason Unrivaled league begins next month in Miami, an opportunity for WNBA stars like Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier to continue competing in the league’s lengthy offseason. It was confimed Tuesday that Brink has become the 3-on-3 league’s newest member, signing a multi-season contract that will see her take the court for the Lunar Owls in 2026.
Brink’s new teammates in the offseason league include star guards Natasha Cloud and Skylar Diggins-Smith, in addition to reigning Defensive Player of the Year Collier and reigning All-Star Game MVP Allisha Gray. Even though she won’t take the court for another year, Brink has revealed to People magazine that a conversation with her godbrother — one Stephen Curry — helped her come to a decision.
“He thinks it’s a great idea and he knows I love the round three basketball,” Brink explained.

Though Brink should be ready for the start of the 2025 WNBA season — the league’s longest ever, with a 44-game schedule — she believes that joining Unrivaled will make her a better basketball player, allowing her to hone her skills as the Sparks continue to build toward title contention.
“It’s just a really great way to train in a different way and build up your skill, not playing five-on-five,” Brink told People. “It’s just going to be completely different and I think it’s really going to aid people with their skills, everything.”
