The Sparks rookie is watching the Games from afar.
Los Angeles Sparks rookie standout Cameron Brink was one of the first to congratulate the U.S. women’s 3x3 basketball team for advancing to the semifinals in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
After losing the first three games in Paris, the Team USA capped off a five-game win streak on Saturday to book a ticket to the tournament semifinals Monday night. The reigning Olympic gold medalists defeated China, 21–13, in a knockout play-in game buoyed by a strong performance from forward Dearica Hamby, who scored a team-high nine points and added five boards.
Brink couldn’t join Team USA in Paris this summer due to her unfortunate in-season ACL injury, but she still found a way to celebrate the crucial win. Brink reposted a photo of Hamby and Team USA guard Rhyne Howard on her Instagram Stories along with the caption, “Never had a doubt. LFG.” Cameron Brink was supposed to be on the 3x3 roster, but missed the Olympics due to an ACL tear.
