Sparks beat reporter John Davis reports that coach Lynne Roberts hopes Brink can be back by the end of July. Brink was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft behind Caitlin Clark. She played 15 games before her injury, averaging 21.9 minutes per night. She put up 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

With her team set to host last-place Connecticut on Sunday afternoon, Sparks coach Lynne Roberts says Brink is getting closer to returning from last year’s season-ending knee injury.

Davis reported that Brink held a personal half-court 5-on-5 session after Saturday's Sparks practice. He also shared an update from Roberts that the coach is hopeful Brink will return to the team before the end of July.
