WNBA star Cameron Brink rang in the new year in style and is ready to take on 2025.
On Jan. 3, the Los Angeles Sparks forward shared photos from her New Year's Eve celebrations surrounded by friends and her fiancé Ben Felter. Dec. 31 also happens to be her birthday, so she marked both herself and the world turning another year older at the same time. "New year, new knee, and 23," she captioned the photos.
Brink is ready to take on the 2025 WNBA season after her 2024 season ended abruptly following a torn ACL injury in June of last year. She underwent surgery to repair the torn ligament in her left knee but was forced to sit out the rest of the season as well as the Paris Olympics, where the rookie was set to represent the U.S. in the women's 3-on-3 basketball event.

Last month, Brink announced another major career move as she committed to the new Unrivaled basketball league, co-founded last year by WNBA icons Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. Before taking on the challenge, she consulted with her godbrother, fellow professional basketball star Steph Curry.
"When the league was just forming, we did chat about it, and yeah, I think Steph is in full support of it," Brink told People of their conversation. "He thinks it's a great idea and he knows I love the round three basketball."
"It's just a really great way to train in a different way and build up your skill, not playing five-on-five," she added. "It's just going to be completely different and I think it's really going to aid people with their skills, everything. So yeah, [Curry] thinks it's a really cool thing."
