Brink has started in all 15 games of her rookie season with the Sparks. She's proven to be a strong defensive force in the WNBA, averaging 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per contest to go along with 7.5 points per game. She's also averaging 1.1 steals per game.

While the team has not provided any further details on Brink's injury, a torn ACL would likely mean that the forward's rookie season will be cut short.

Brink has been solid in Los Angeles all season, but had one of her top performances in an 81-72 victory over the Dallas Wings on June 7, recording her first double-double in the WNBA. She finished the game with 10 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.

The rookie also had her top offensive performance on May 26, scoring a season-high 21 points in an 84-83 loss to the Wings.

Brink's injury is a huge blow to Los Angeles, which currently owns a 4-11 record on the season.
