"I was at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut ... a casino, very lucky," she told host Pat Sajak via a video on USA Today's For The Win. "[I] tore my ACL, tore my meniscus as well, but it's all surgically repaired now. So, I'm good. It's just going to take me a couple months to be back."

Brink recently revisited her immediate reaction after tearing her ACL on a recent episode of"Straight 2 Cam" with Sydel Curry-Lee— taking viewers back in time to share her perspective of last June's injury.
"When I tore [my ACL], I got up and I walked off the floor," Brink said. "There was no wheelchair for me.
"I didn't yell ... I was just sitting there like, 'Ope, that happened. Get up and walk it off," she continued.
