The devastating news of Cameron Brink’s torn ACL prompted messages of sympathy from around the WNBA on Wednesday, including from fellow rookie phenom Caitlin Clark.
The top two selections in 2024’s transformative draft class, Clark has maintained a relationship with Brink for the last five years and expressed confidence in her “friend” to navigate the lengthy recovery process. “Obviously [that’s devastating], you never want to see anybody deal with any sort of injury, but know she’s a type of person that will be able to get through,” Clark told reporters.
“It breaks your heart. She’s such a good basketball player but even a better person… her being one of my friends and kinda going through this process together.” Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides also briefly added her condolences at the end of Wednesday’s media availability
. “My thoughts are with the LA [Los Angeles Sparks] team… that’s just really sad, hoping the best for [Brink],” Sides said. Clark and Brink featured in the legendary 2020 high school cohort alongside household names Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso and Hailey Van Lith, initially forging their friendship at the 2019 USA U19 World Cup in Bangkok.
The future lowa star played just seven minutes in a thrilling overtime victory over Australia while Brink didn’t get off the bench, beginning a remarkable transformation for the WNBA’s two leading Rookie of the Year candidates.
“When we were 17 years old we were roommates on the road in Thailand, and then getting to share draft weekend together or award shows our junior year of college,” Clark said. “She was obviously having a great start to her rookie year, but I know she’ll bounce back stronger and I know so many people are thinking of her and praying for her.”
