WNBA star Cameron Brink was at Crypto.com Arena on Friday night to watch LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers square off against the Phoenix Suns.
Unfortunately for the Lakers, this month hasn’t been very kind to them. A few days ago, All-Star guard Luka Doncic suffered a grade 2 hamstring strain against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Austin Reaves, meanwhile, sustained a left oblique muscle injury that has kept him sidelined for the past few days.

Despite not having his two co-stars by his side, James powered the Lakers to a 101-73 victory by scoring 28 points on 10-of-16 shooting.
Prior to tipoff on Friday night, James posed for a photo with Brink. It didn’t take long for that image to go viral on social media.

Cameron Brink is gearing up for the 2026 season.
WNBA fans are certainly hoping Brink will get to showcase her full potential this upcoming season.
Brink, the No. 2 overall pick from the 2024 WNBA Draft, has only appeared in 34 games over the past two seasons due to a torn ACL. She averaged 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in limited action last year.
