Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink revealed that her godbrother, Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry, played a key role in supporting her decision to join the Unrivaled basketball league. “When the league was just forming, we talked about it,” Brink shared with PEOPLE. “Steph is in full support. He thinks it’s a great idea and knows I love the fast-paced style of 3-on-3 basketball.”
Although Brink is officially joining the Lunar Owls team, she will not compete this season as she continues to recover from an ACL tear that cut her rookie year short. Instead, the 22-year-old plans to use her time with Unrivaled to train, contribute to the league’s promotional efforts, and prepare for her return to the court.
The new 3-on-3 league, co-founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, will launch its inaugural season in Miami in January 2025. Brink’s inclusion adds to the growing buzz surrounding the league, which aims to push the boundaries of women’s basketball.
Currently five months into her recovery, Brink is optimistic about her progress. “I feel really good,” she said. “The process has been smooth, and I’m grateful for the people helping me along the way.”
Meanwhile, Brink’s bond with Curry stems from their unique family connection. Their parents met at Virginia Tech and became lifelong friends, making Brink the godsister of Curry and his siblings, Seth and Sydel, per PEOPLE.
