Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink was carried off the court Tuesday after suffering an apparent knee injury against the Connecticut Sun.

The extent of the injury wasn’t initially clear.

The injury happened midway through the first quarter. Brink fell to the court after contact with Sun forward Brionna Jones while driving to the basket. She awkwardly planted her leg and immediately grabbed her left knee when she fell to the court. She struggled to stand up but got to her feet with the help of her teammates.

She was able to hobble off to the sideline on her own, but was carried off the court by trainers once she reached the bench.

Brink joined the Sparks as the No. 2 pick in April’s WNBA draft out of Stanford. Through 14 games before Tuesday, she averaged 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 39.8% from the floor and 32.3% from 3-point distance. She was recently selected as a member of Team USA’s 3×3 basketball team for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
