    Ever since the 2024 rookie class came into the league, WNBA attendance and popularity have been at an all-time high. Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Cameron Brink have had a big part in the league's newfound success.

    The Los Angeles Sparks selected Brink with the No. 2 pick after her college days with the Stanford Cardinal. She was off to a great start to her professional career but hit a snag after tearing her ACL a month ago.

    Despite her absence, the WNBA has continued its success. But Brink still has concerns about the new popularity of the league.

    When asked about the hype surrounding the WNBA, Brink admitted her major fear that the league's popularity might not last.

    "There is a bit of fear, like, will people kind of hop off the bandwagon per se?" Brink said in an interview with Flaunt Magazine . "Yeah, especially with media now and how short media—like videos—everything is continually shortened to fit with our attention span. I don’t know if that’ll carry over to our league. I hope not."

    In 15 WNBA games before her injury, Brink was off to a solid start. Despite the Sparks' poor record, Brink managed to record 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game.
