WNBA<\/a> star Cameron Brink was at Crypto.com Arena on Friday night to watch LeBron James<\/a> and the Los Angeles Lakers square off against the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Prior to tipoff on Friday night, James posed for a photo with Brink<\/a>. It didn’t take long for that image to go viral on social media.<\/p>\n

“She’s getting taller,” one fan wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re not tall until a 6\u20194 woman can wear 4+inch heels and still be shorter than you,” a second fan commented.<\/p>\n

“No way she’s 6’3,” a third fan added.<\/p>\n

“Is she gonna play center for the playoffs,” another fan said.<\/p>\n

Cameron Brink is gearing up for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

WNBA fans are certainly hoping Brink will get to showcase her full potential this upcoming season.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
