Cameron Brink demonstrated this past summer that while having two fully healthy ACLs is necessary to compete at a high level in the WNBA, it is not essential for modeling.
Despite suffering a season-ending injury, the No. 2 draft pick continued with her pregame modeling sessions. Even though she was away from the basketball court, she remained active and engaged in modeling off the court.

At 22 years old, Brink has lucrative brand deals and a large social media following to engage with. She understands that focusing solely on rehab content won’t suffice.
The rookie for the Los Angeles Sparks has been actively working on building her personal brand and social media presence.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit recently announced that Cameron Brink will be featured in their 2025 edition, marking her debut with the renowned brand. She joins a prestigious lineup of athletes set to appear in the upcoming edition.
Cameron Brink’s Affection for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
It comes as no surprise that Brink participated in a photo shoot with SI Swimsuit, given her past admiration for the publication. During a podcast appearance with Paul George in May, she expressed her interest in modeling for the magazine.
“I’ve always loved SI Swimsuit,” she stated. “I think it’s super empowering.”
This sentiment was enough for the Sports Illustrated team to reach out to the 6′ 4″ forward with a burgeoning modeling career and arrange a shoot in Florida.
Despite her knee injury, Cameron Brink has had a remarkable year. From being the second overall pick in the WNBA draft to getting engaged and landing a feature in SI Swimsuit, she has achieved significant milestones.
