Fresh off three consecutive wins, the Los Angeles Sparks travel to Connecticut to take on the Sun on Thursday.

On Wednesday afternoon, ahead of the upcoming contest, star forward Cameron Brink — injured since 2024 following an ACL tear last June — was upgraded from 'out' to 'questionable,' per Real Sports.

Despite a return date still not officially confirmed, it marks yet another monumental step in Brink's injury recovery process.

It comes less than two weeks since Brink's 5-on-5 practice session at a recent Sparks practice, after which head coach Lynne Roberts provided a positive injury update.

Roberts said she's hopeful in Brink returning to Los Angeles' active rotation by the end of July — having the star forward back as the Sparks look to make a playoff push before the conclusion of this year's regular season.

Another recent step for Brink, as seen in a X post from Justin Russo on July 9, has been "participating in skeleton work" as she continues to increase her on-court responsibilities.

The purple and gold have three more games to close out July — against the Sun, Liberty and Aces, respectively. According to Roberts, Brink's return could come during the upcoming week-long stretch.
