Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink was announced Tuesday as the newest athlete to be featured in Sports Illustrated's annual Swimsuit Issue in 2025.

During a May episode of Paul George's Podcast P show, the 6'4" forward said she "always loved" the Swimsuit Issue and called it "super empowering"

While a lot of attention was paid to Caitlin Clark going into the 2024 WNBA draft, Brink was also considered to be a potential franchise cornerstone for whichever team picked her. Her massive potential was on clear display before a torn ACL abruptly ended her rookie campaign.

Brink averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 15 appearances. Her 35 total blocks before the knee injury were the second-most in the league.

As a franchise, the Sparks are in a state of flux. They posted the WNBA's worst record (8-32) and have the best odds (44.2 percent) of winning the 2025 draft lottery. Los Angeles hasn't replaced outgoing head coach Curt Miller, either, after letting him go this offseason.

Whatever the organization's future looks like, it's at least clear Brink will be a big part of it.
