She didn’t log any minutes on the hardwood Thursday night, but Cameron Brink still managed to steal the show.
The 6-foot-4 Los Angeles Sparks forward, who’s been sidelined for over a year due to a torn ACL, had social media in a chokehold after rocking a white miniskirt and powder blue jacket on the bench during her team’s statement win against the Connecticut Sun. And while Nneka Ogwumike and Co. handled business on the court, the internet was handling something else entirely: Cameron Brink’s look.
“Stacy Keibler vibes,” one user tweeted, likening the WNBA star’s towering glam to the iconic WWE diva.
“Cameron Brink looking good on the bench,” another wrote, summing up the collective thirst.
“Never get why tall women are so insecure like come here palm tree let me climb you,” one post read, garnering thousands of likes and replies.
“She been a baddie,” added another.
“Extra tall mid version of Cameron Diaz,” a user joked, though the consensus was anything but mid.
Her Comeback Era Is Already Stylishly Dominant
Brink hasn’t suited up for the Sparks since suffering a devastating ACL tear in her rookie season on June 18, 2024. The injury was a brutal blow to both the franchise and fans, who had watched the Stanford alum quickly become one of the most exciting young names in the WNBA.
But while she’s been grinding through rehab behind the scenes, she’s also been leveling up in the public eye. And it shows.
This offseason alone, Brink got engaged to longtime boyfriend and Stanford rower Ben Felter, debuting a diamond ring large enough to send the internet spiraling, graduated from Stanford (stealing headlines again in a show-stopping white dress), and launched a podcast, “Straight to Cam,” with her god-sibling Sydel Curry (yes, Steph’s sister).
Oh, and she’s been doing weighted lunges while holding a small child in one arm.
A Tunnel Walk Legend in the Making
Even as she’s remained off the court, Brink’s presence has been felt. Hard.
From her viral black leather shorts and blazer combo that had her posing courtside with Kevin Durant, to a recent switch-up where she ditched her blonde hair in favor of a more natural brunette tone, Brink has quickly become the WNBA fashion girl to watch. And Thursday’s look may have been her most viral yet.
Stepping off the team bus in Connecticut, Brink wore a cropped powder blue jacket, a sleek white miniskirt, and thigh-skimming boots, a clean, flirtatious silhouette that instantly had WNBA Twitter on fire.
“The primary reason I’ll watch the WNBA is because I have a crush on Cameron Brink,” one person confessed.
“There just aren’t many things on earth that compare to the beauty of a woman with long legs,” wrote another admirer.
“She’s definitely seen the Sophie discourse and had to remind us who the hell she is,” someone added, referencing Sophie Cunningham’s own viral TikTok moment earlier this week.
Still, not everyone was sold.
“Y’all find her attractive?” one skeptical tweet asked, though they were quickly outnumbered and quote-tweeted into oblivion.
Brink’s Return Nears
While her fashion game has been in full force all season, there’s growing anticipation around Brink’s official return to the court.
The Sparks’ medical staff has confirmed that her rehab has been progressing well and that she is expected to make her return sometime this season, a major boost for an LA squad fighting to stay in playoff contention. Thursday’s game marked the first time Brink traveled with the team since the injury, signaling that her comeback is nearing.
Until then, the internet seems more than happy to admire her from the sideline.
“Umar not even a doctor,” one fan joked, mocking thirst-trapping commenters while still indulging in it themselves.
In a league rapidly expanding in viewership, cultural relevance, and fashion-forward star power, Cameron Brink is proving that you don’t need to check into the game to dominate it.
