I would give anything to be out on the court right now. Basketball is my passion and everything to me to say this you arent a real fan."Thank you to those who understand ACLs can take a year & giving me grace. I cannot wait until I get to play again."Brink, 23, has been sidelined since she tore the ACL in her left knee during a June 2024 game against theConnecticut Sun. She was averaging 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks a game before the injury.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
