The Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink has had enough of the swirling rumors linking her to Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. The narrative is nothing new as it stems back to some time ago. While it’s obvious that she gets agitated over the linkup, the media couldn’t stop asking her the same question a hundred times.

During a recent episode of her podcast ‘Straight To Cam,’ Brink candidly addressed the exaggerated narrative that paints her formal interactions as romantic linkups. Frustrated by the constant speculation, she emphasized that the rumors began even before she was drafted into the WNBA.

“I think, like, obviously, it started, it was like a pre-draft thing. It goes all the way back to before being drafted, and it was a video of this NBA player or that NBA player. And it was always Jimmy or someone random. I think Jimmy’s hilarious. I really said that because, honestly, the photos—they would show me photos, and it was him with his emo hair. And I just think he has a great story. Yeah, I think he’s hilarious. And I just love funny people. So I was like, ‘Jimmy, Jimmy,’” Brink said on the podcast.

However, she refuted any claims of her linkup with the male NBA superstars, be it Jimmy or Kawhi Leonard.

“It’s like—what else? I talked about this on Paul’s podcast, PG’s podcast. It was about Kawhi, and it’s like people make that weird as well. So it really makes me not want to go online and read things because it just makes me so uncomfortable. I’m like, it’s not like that. Yeah, a mutual admiration, but not in that way,” the Sparks star added.

 

Cameron Brink Welcomed Kelsey Plum To Sparks With Instagram Post

Moving away from all the rumors and buzz, Cameron Brink is really happy these days. Recently, she couldn’t contain her excitement over Kelsey Plum’s recent trade to the Los Angeles Sparks. Brink took to her social media and opted for a simple yet heartfelt three-word reaction.

 “KP my DAWG,” Brink wrote on her Instagram story.

However, everybody is hyping up the jubilation surrounding Plum’s arrival in LA. The opportunity for the California native to reunite with former teammate Dearica Hamby adds another reason to gush over. The Sparks’ social media landscape was buzzing as Brink’s post garnered attention, fueling the anticipation of Plum’s homecoming.


Hamby also took to Instagram to welcome Plum warmly, featuring her daughter in a #10 jersey and adding a red heart to convey her support. Lexie Brown joined the chorus, showing her excitement with franchise colors to highlight the positive reception among teammates.

As a two-time WNBA Champion and Olympic gold medalist, Plum’s addition is expected to significantly elevate the Sparks’ performance. Despite a slight dip in her stats last season, her skill set can provide essential support to younger players like Brink and Rickea Jackson.

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.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

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 away 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.
