11/12/2024 02:28 PM
Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink was officially unveiled as the newest model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit this Tuesday. It didn't take long for her first photo with the iconic brand to break the internet.
Brink, the No. 2 pick from this year's WNBA Draft, had her rookie season with the Sparks cut short due to a torn ACL. The Stanford product was playing well prior to her injury, averaging 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. She's certainly capable of being a two-way star as long as she stays healthy.
It also appears that Brink is capable of becoming the next face of SI Swimsuit. Although fans will have to wait until next year to see her rookie photo shoot, there are already people eager to get their copy.
As for Brink, she's living in the moment. She made it clear that posing for SI Swimsuit has always been a dream of hers.
"Dream come true," Brink commented on SI Swimsuit's announcement post.

Brink showed her appreciation for SI Swimsuit earlier this year during an appearance on Paul George's podcast.
"I've always loved [it]," Brink said. "I think it's super empowering."
For whatever it's worth, Brink isn't the first WNBA player to be featured in an edition of SI Swimsuit. Sue Bird, Nneka Ogwumike, Breanna Stewart and others have posed for the magazine.
Next year's magazine has a heavy focus on female athletes "poised to transform the world of sports," per SI Swimsuit's MJ Day.
Not only will the 2025 edition of SI Swimsuit feature Brink, it'll also include Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, American sprinter Gabby Thomas and LPGA Tour star Nelly Korda.
