Brink’s first season in the WNBA was curtailed by injury, but she’s been attending Paris Fashion Week, advocating for DEI, and starring in Skims ads alongside Kelsey Plum and DiJonai Carrington
Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink has had quite the year. The WNBA star stepped onto the court for the first time in her rookie season for the professional basketball league on May 4 in a preseason game against the Seattle Storm. Then, in early June, she was named to Team USA’s 3x3 Olympic team. However, just a few weeks later her dream of Olympic glory was dashed when she tore her ACL in a game against the Connecticut Sun. Her status is still listed as out.
Despite being benched, though, Brink has plenty of other things to keep her busy. She’s hustling hard to stay relevant off the court with a series of glamorous appearances and brand endorsements, and recently got engaged to her long-time boyfriend.

But who is Cameron Brink, the blonde bombshell basketball player who made a splash on and off the court in 2024? Here’s what to know.
Basketball’s in her blood

Brinks was born in New Jersey on New Year’s Eve 2001 and lived in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, as a small child. When she was 11, the family moved to Beaverton, Oregon, where Brinks grew up in a family immersed in basketball.
Both her parents, Greg Brink and Michelle Bain-Brink, played at Virginia Tech on basketball scholarships. It was here that they met and became friends with Dell and Sonya Curry, parents to Golden State Warriors player Stephen Curry. Now, the senior Currys are godparents to Cameron Brink, while Stephen is godson to Brinks’ parents.
As a child, Brink was more interested in art than sport but eventually, she discovered basketball and her competitive streak. In high school, Brink began showing promise in the sport and won a string of accolades, including McDonald’s All-American and Jordan Brand Classic All-American in 2020. She was also a three-time Naismith High School All-America from 2018 to 2020 and rated the number three player in the country by ESPN. The sport eventually brought her to a collegiate career at Stanford University.
