The good news for the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night was that Cameron Brink made her long-awaited return from the torn ACL that cut her rookie season short 13 months ago.

Playing her first game after a 13-month recovery from a left ACL injury, Brink scores five points in 14 minutes in an 89-74 loss. A’ja Wilson has 34 points and 10 rebounds in a dominant showing

During this spring's draft, ESPN's Holly Rowe reported that Brink would be back before the All-Star break. That timeline did not come to fruition as the festivities unfolded over a week ago, but it was only a short delay for Brink, who worked her way back to on-court drills earlier this summer.
