On Monday, Los Angeles Sparks' star Cameron Brink announced that she is planning to making her 2025 season debut on Tuesday, July 29 against the Las Vegas Aces, per John W. Davis — her first game back since suffering an ACL tear in 2024.

“It’s no easy thing to come back from … I’m just very excited, very humbled by this experience,” she said at Monday afternoon's practice.

However, Sparks' coach Lynne Roberts also said she expects Brink will be on a likely minutes restriction in 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'll 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."

Now, Brink is officially back as the Sparks — fresh off five straight wins — look to make a playoff push before the conclusion of this year's WNBA regular season.
