Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink (22) warms up before the game against the Dallas Wings at College Park Center.

It’s not every day a WNBA star breaks the internet from her bedroom, but it seems that Cameron Brink is doing it.

The Los Angeles Sparks forward just made her long-awaited return to the court this week after a brutal 13-month ACL rehab. But while fans were cheering her comeback in Tuesday night’s game against the Las Vegas Aces, the real hype? It’s happening online. Brink’s not just back on the hardwood, she’s lighting up timelines with a now-viral photo from her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot.

The photo that’s making jaws drop shows Brink lounging in bed, rocking a tiny red bikini and absolutely owning the moment. The shot originally appeared in this year’s SI Swimsuit post, where Brink made her modeling debut. But it’s only now that this particular image is catching eyes across social media.

Brink Back On The Court, Breaking The Internet Off It

Brink called her SI appearance a “dream come true” when it dropped earlier this year. Photographers captured her in Boca Raton, Florida, alongside a great rookie class featuring gymnast Suni Lee, LPGA star Nelly Korda, and NASCAR’s Toni Breidinger.

“Joining the lineup for the 2025 SI Swimsuit issue is Cameron Brink, one of the most captivating athletes of her generation,” SI Swimsuit wrote in its profile. “She’s not only dominating the court but also redefining the intersection of fashion and sports with her sleek, standout pre-game tunnel looks.”

 

Now, that same presence is turning into trending gold online. The red bikini photo is being shared, commented on, and reposted across X (formerly Twitter).

One fan wrote, “Yep. We’re healing.”

Another said, “Good lord… she doesn’t even have to play a sport.”

But Brink isn’t letting the hype distract her. She put up 5 points, 3 rebounds, a block, and a steal in limited minutes Tuesday and clarified she remains fully focused on her game.

“I’m just thankful for the process… and just happy to be playing the sport I love again,” she told reporters after the game.

Her coach, Lynne Roberts, added, “She was more comfortable out there than I expected.”

Brink and the Sparks next take the court Friday night against the Seattle Storm. Until then, the internet will likely keep fanning itself over that now-iconic bed photo.

And yes, she’s just getting started.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
