In a heart-stopping moment Tuesday night, Los Angeles Sparks’ rookie sensation Cameron Brink was dramatically carried off the court after suffering a knee injury against the Connecticut Sun.

The drama unfolded midway through the first quarter. Brink, known for her fearless drives to the basket, collided with Sun forward Brionna Jones. She awkwardly planted her leg, immediately clutching her left knee as she crashed to the floor. The crowd held its breath as Brink struggled to stand, finally rising with the aid of her teammates, only to be carried off by trainers once she reached the bench.

Halftime brought grim news for Sparks fans. The team confirmed that the injury was indeed to her knee and announced she wouldn’t be returning to the game. The extent of her injury remains unknown leaving everyone guessing and hoping for the best.

Brink’s stellar rookie season and spot in Olympic team in jeopardy?

Brink, the No. 2 pick from April’s WNBA draft out of Stanford, has been a beacon of hope for the Sparks this season. Through 14 games, she’s been averaging 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.4 blocks, and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 39.8% from the floor and 32.3% from beyond the arc. Her stellar performance even earned her a spot on Team USA’s 3×3 basketball team for the upcoming Paris Olympics.

This injury is a devastating blow not only to Brink but to the Sparks’ playoff hopes. Fans and teammates alike are anxiously awaiting further updates, hoping this rising star’s season isn’t cut short.

The internet collectively gasped this weekend after a photo surfaced of Kawhi Leonard sporting a new hairstyle. The Clippers star, who has always been spotted with his iconic long, braided hair, seemed to have shed his signature hairstyle, leaving fans stunned. However, it appears the fans dodged a crisis.

The photo sent shockwaves, depicting Leonard with a different look at a Las Vegas boxing match. Social media erupted with disbelief, with comments like “Is that even Kawhi?!” and “RIP to an era.”

However, Clippers reporter Joey Linn of Sports Illustrated debunked the rumors as he confirmed that Leonard hadn’t chopped his hair off. Instead, he opted for a different style, with his long hair pulled back and secured, possibly in a bun.

Fans breathed a sigh of relief after Linn’s revelation, but the internet soon turned to teasing and trolling. Netizens joked about Leonard’s newfound clean-shaven face, with some comparing the Clippers’ star to a college freshman.
