How Did Cameron Brink Do in Sparks Season Debut?

Brink finished with five points and three rebounds — two of which came on the offensive glass — as well as one block, one steal and one assist in just 13 minutes off the bench. Furthermore, she held a plus-minus of five — just one of three Sparks to boast a positive plus-minus.

The 6-foot-4 forward's first basket of the night came on her first shot attempt of the game — in the form of a triple less than a minute after checking into Tuesday's contest.

Her final two points, a pair of free throws, came in the final minute of the fourth quarter.

Sparks' coach Lynne Roberts said she expected Brink would be on a likely minutes restriction  prior to Tuesday's debut.

"It's great," Roberts said of Brink's return at Monday's practice. "Not to put too much pressure on Cam's impact right now ... [but] just be in the moment and not worry too much about missing a layup ... play with gratitude.

"July 29th, [we] have all 11 players healthy," she added. "Sometimes the hardest times in life are the biggest lessons ... [Brink] will be a better player because of this."

Expect Brink's minutes to increase throughout the final month of the WNBA regular season as she reclaims a primary spot in Los Angeles' active rotation. Brink and the Sparks look to gain back recent momentum and make a playoff push.
