"I guess my confession is I'm really icked out by the potential new practice players," Brink said on her Straight to Cam podcast alongside her co-host Sydel Curry-Lee, the sister of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.

"It's basically just a flyer, it's like me, Dearica [Hamby], Rickea [Jackson], and Kelsey [Plum], and it's like 'male practice players wanted'... And all the comments are like 'Let Cameron Brink back me down', or something about Rickea or something about Kelsey," she added when Curry-Lee said she was unaware of the flyer.

"They need to go through heavy HR training," Curry-Lee responded.

"Who are we trusting coming into this gym?" Brink added. "I'm not boxing anyone out. Lynne, our new coach, is gonna be screaming at me for not rebounding. But I'm not boxing out anyone."

Brink, who was selected by the Sparks at No. 2 overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 15 games before suffering a torn ACL that ended her rookie season.
