BREAKING: Cameron Brink Had Angel Reese Nearly In Tears [VIDEO]
Cameron Brink locks up Angel Reese.
Angel Reese has been on a tear throughout her third season in the WNBA. She is racking up double-doubles for a winning team. She was doing the same in her first two years, but Chicago was a bad franchise.
Her being traded to Atlanta put her on a real contender.
In that 2024 draft class that included her and Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink was taken second overall. Her career hasn’t panned out as great, mainly due to injuries and missing a ton of games.
The 2024 draft picks went head-to-head this week.

Fresh off a s-x toy being thrown on the court, the highly anticipated matchup between two premier women’s basketball stars delivered its most dramatic highlight yet.
During a fierce defensive sequence, Los Angeles center Cameron Brink completely smothered Reese in the paint. Reese tried to drive to the basket, but ran into a wall with Brink in front of her. First, she was blocked. After recovering the ball, Reese tried to go back up before losing the ball out of bounds.
Angel Reese also fell to the ground as she became frustrated that no foul was called.

Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese set a new WNBA single-game rebounding record. She hauled in 26 boards during a 78-71 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday.
In a historic performance at Crypto.com Arena, she rewrote the WNBA record books by breaking both the single-game and single-season rebounding records in the same night. Reese grabbed 26 total rebounds—consisting of 18 defensive and 8 offensive boards.
That eclipsed the previous single-game high of 24 set by Chamique Holdsclaw in 2003. Additionally, the performance pushed her season total to 458 rebounds. That passed A’ja Wilson’s previous single-season record of 451 set in 2024.
Reese combined her record-breaking night on the glass with 11 points to secure her league-leading 27th double-double.
