Cameron Brink is slowly overcoming fear as she moves cautiously in her first post-surgery workout

Cameron Brink is slowly leaving behind the fear of her injury nightmare

Cameron Brink’s season came to an abrupt halt when she received the devastating news of a knee injury that required season-ending surgery. The shock of the diagnosis left her grappling with disappointment and uncertainty, but Brink, known for her resilience, quickly shifted her focus to recovery. For an athlete at the top of her game, the challenge wasn’t just physical-it was a mental battle to accept the journey ahead.

Since the surgery, Brink has taken her fans along on her recovery journey through social media. From her first steps post-surgery to her gradual progress, she has shared moments of vulnerability and strength. The support of her family and her fiancé, Ben Felter, who proposed during this challenging time, has been a source of motivation, reminding her that she’s not alone in this fight.

In a recent TikTok video from a practice session in L.A.’s parks, Brink revealed her cautious return to movement. The clip shows her engaging in a one-on-one practice, carefully testing her knee with every step. Her movements are deliberate, a mix of determination and caution, as she works to rebuild strength and confidence in her body.

Before her injury, Brink was having a stellar season and her presence on the court was a game-changer, making her one of the standout players in the league. Now, with her sights set on returning stronger, Brink is preparing to re-enter a competitive landscape that includes stars like Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. The road back won’t be easy, but Brink’s combination of skill and determination could make her one of the most compelling comeback stories in women’s basketball

New Orleans Pelicans Stun The NBA By Trading Superstar Brandon Ingram To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

With the New Orleans Pelicans enduring another tremendously disappointing season, star big man Brandon Ingram is another name to follow in the trade rumor mill.

The Pelicans enter Thursday as the worst team in the Western Conference (5-22), with only the Washington Wizards (3-21) displaying an inferior record. It’s clear that a rebuild is necessary in NOLA, and that would start with trading core players like Brandon Ingram and/or Zion Williamson.

Svyatoslav Rovenchuk of Athlon Sports recently proposed a blockbuster trade idea that has New Orleans trading Ingram and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to the powerhouse Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, Kevon Looney and De’Anthony Melton:

“The swap allows the Warriors to add another All-Star caliber player around Curry. Meanwhile, the Pelicans land a worthwhile young prospect and a handful of expiring contracts. One could argue that Golden State would need to add some sort of draft pick compensation too, but given Ingram’s modest value, Kuminga may offer more than enough appeal to not have to do so.”
