During this spring's draft, ESPN's Holly Rowe reported that Brink would be back before the All-Star break. That timeline did not come to fruition as the festivities unfolded over a week ago, but it was only a short delay for Brink, who worked her way back to on-court drills earlier this summer.

The No. 2 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, Brink got off to a strong start in her rookie year before she injured her knee on June 18 in a game against the Connecticut Sun. Prior to going down, she averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.3 blocks across 15 games.
