Cameron Brink's Recent Injury

Cameron Brink, the standout women’s college basketball player for Stanford, recently drew attention after suffering a leg injury during a game against Oregon on January 19. As March Madness unfolds, Brink’s name is expected to remain in the spotlight due to her significant contributions to Stanford University’s team.

Over her three years with Stanford, Brink has amassed various awards and championships. Beyond her on-court achievements, she has secured notable brand deals with companies such as New Balance and Buick. Additionally, she has a connection to the NBA through her relationship with Golden State Warriors player Steph Curry, whom she considers a “brother.”

A recent injury during a game against Oregon has raised concerns. Brink injured her left leg in the first quarter, requiring assistance from teammates to move from the court to the bench. Despite ongoing icing during the game, she did not return to play and remained on the bench in the subsequent game against Oregon State.

Originally from Princeton, New Jersey, Brink grew up in Beaverton, Oregon, where she honed her basketball skills. After a successful high school career, she received offers from prestigious universities such as the University of Connecticut, Stanford, and the University of Oregon.

Choosing Stanford to pursue a degree in communications, Brink expressed her long-standing dream of attending the California school. Now a senior, she aims to make her mark in the upcoming season.

At 22 years old, Brink, born on New Year’s Eve, brings her Capricorn qualities of hard work and perseverance to the court. Standing at an impressive 6 feet 4 inches, she possesses the stature befitting a basketball star.

Notably, Brink has close ties to NBA legend Steph Curry, with Dell and Sonya Curry serving as her godparents. Describing Curry as a “brother,” Brink reflects on their shared history and Curry’s impact on her basketball journey.

Despite the recent setback of her injury, Cameron Brink remains a prominent figure in women’s college basketball, and fans eagerly await her return to the court.
