Following a personal 5-on-5 practice session at the Sparks' practice on Saturday, head coach Lynne Roberts provided a massive — and positive — injury update ahead of Brink's return.
Roberts said she's hopeful in Brink returning to Los Angeles' active rotation by the end of July — having the star forward back as the Sparks look to make a playoff push before the conclusion of this year's regular season.

Another recent step for Brink, as seen in a X post from Justin Russo on July 9, has been "participating in skeleton work" as she continues to increase her on-court responsibilities.
Still operating on a month-by-month timetable, Brink has been participating in on-court activity sessions throughout the first few months of the 2025 season — one of which came prior to Los Angeles' home game against the Chicago Sky on May 25.
