Cameron Brink’s Post After Stanford Graduation Catches Attention
Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink has reached another remarkable milestone: graduating from Stanford University.
The WNBA standout shared the news on social media, earning admiration for her touching message and elegant celebratory photos.
“Stanford has taught me so many precious lessons and introduced me to people who I can’t imagine life without,” Brink shared. “I’m feeling so blessed and proud of the woman this place has helped me become.”
Dressed for the occasion, Brink wore a white minidress paired with custom heels by Stuart Weitzman that showcased her jersey number, 22. The stylish photoshoot captured her radiant joy as she celebrated the momentous occasion.
Cameron Brink’s heartfelt Instagram post quickly grabbed attention, with friends and fans showing their love for her and congratulating her on the milestone.
“The hottest Stanford grad ever,” former California Golden Bears guard and Brink’s close friend Mia Mastrov wrote.
“Congrats booootie😍,” Sparks teammate Azura Stevens chimed in.
“Dreams realized! Looking forward to the next chapters 🤩😍❤️❤️❤️,” a fan wrote.
“Congratulations boo! ❤️😍…. And cmon legs 🔥🔥🔥,” another commenter said.
Brink’s journey as a basketball player has been a mix of triumphs and trials. In her rookie season with the Sparks, she displayed her potential by averaging 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, per ESPN.
However, her season ended early due to a torn ACL, which also kept her from competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics as part of Team USA’s 3×3 basketball team. Fans are eager to see her back on the court in 2025, where she’s expected to make a significant impact on LA.
Cameron Brink Talks Giving Herself Grace in the League
The Stanford alumna is gearing up for a matchup against the Atlanta Dream tonight—and for a meaningful career in the WNBA.
Tonight, Cameron Brink is set to make her WNBA regular season debut with the Los Angeles Sparks. The former Stanford University star was selected No. 2 overall in this year’s WNBA Draft in mid-April and has since been preparing for her official start in the league.
With a couple of preseason games under her belt, the 22-year-old has already gotten a taste of professional play. But the real test begins this evening with the Sparks first regular season matchup against the Atlanta Dream.
Brink is determined “to give [her]self grace,” though. She’s a competitive player, and there’s no doubt that she’ll put that edge on display early in her pro career. But she knows that the WNBA is a step up from college hoops. Thanks, in part, to her various mentors in the league over the years, the Oregon native understands the challenges ahead.
“They’ve set my standards very high that it’s going to be really hard and that I’m going to get beat up,” she told SLAM. But the thought of a challenge isn’t deterring her. She’s ready to work, but she’s not going to put too much pressure on herself, either. “I’m really going to give myself grace and know that there’s a learning curve,” she said, “but also be hungry and know I deserve to be here.”
With a spot in the WNBA has come increased visibility for Brink, who just signed a brand deal with SKIMS. It only remains to be seen how her determination and skill will translate to the big leagues.
