"You never think it will happen to you," Brink wrote on Instagram. "And despite all the hard work sometimes it does. This is hard to fathom but I know it will only make me stronger. I will not be derailed and I will continue to love this life-I'm not defined by basketball, but it is something that I love deeply and I will work everyday to get back to it. It's not goodbye basketball it's just a see you later. I'm always so thankful for your thoughts and prayers."

Encouraging comments on this post have been pouring in, as so many people from around the sports world have made their support for Brink known. This includes LA Clippers star Paul George, who shared a message for Brink via his Podcast P account on X (formerly known as Twitter):
