Los Angeles Sparks' Cameron Brink will not start in her long-awaited 2025 season debut Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena against the Las Vegas Aces — her first game back since suffering an ACL tear in June of 2024.

Sparks' coach Lynne Roberts said she expects Brink will be on a minutes restriction in Tuesday's debut. "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," Roberts said of Brink's return at Monday's practice.
