UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Los Angeles rookie Cameron Brink had to be helped off the court after suffering a knee injury in the first quarter of the Sparks’ 79-70 loss to Connecticut on Tuesday night.

Brink played under four minutes and committed one foul before getting hurt.

Once over to the sidelines, Brink hobbled toward the locker room, but was forced to stop as a result of the pain. A pair of Sparks personnel lifted Brink off her feet and carried her to the locker room.

“Cam has a knee injury and will be evaluated tomorrow,” Los Angeles Sparks coach Curt Miller said.

The 22-year-old Brink, who was the No. 2 pick in the draft, came into the game averaging 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in her first season in Los Angeles (4-11). She’s tied with A’ja Wilson for second most in the WNBA for blocks.

2. It was ugly.

No contact. She tried to slow her momentum and her knee did unnatural things.

3. I don't want to see it.

I tore up my left knee playing tennis years ago and had to have a knee replacement eventually. Injured my right knee skiing years ago and will have another knee replacement soon.
