The news was confirmed by Brink and Sparks coach Lynne Roberts during a press conference on Monday, as the team prepares for Tuesday’s matchup against the Las Vegas Aces, who are on a five-game winning streak, the best in the league.Brink, a 6-foot-4 forward, averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game before suffering the injury on June 18, 2024, during her rookie season.
