WATCH: Cameron Brink was helped off the floor with a knee injury against Connecticut Sun

Cameron Brink, a rookie with the Los Angeles Sparks, was helped off the floor on Tuesday after sustaining an apparent knee injury against Connecticut Sun. At the time of her injury, she had 0 points in 4 minutes. 

Brink was attempting to drive past Sun Centre Brionna Jones when she became entangled and yelled in agony after falling. When she fell on the court, she clumsily planted her leg and gripped her left knee. She tried to rise but was helped to her feet by her teammates.

She was able to limp to the sideline on her own, but when she reached the bench, trainers took her off the court. When the 22-year-old found out she would be playing for the Stars and Stripes this summer, she started crying. Brink, who excelled at Stanford, was chosen second overall in the WNBA draft. She is a fantastic defensive player who averages 8.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. At halftime, the Sparks revealed that she had suffered a knee injury and declared that she would not return to play. They did not elaborate on the level of her injuries.
