Los Angeles Sparks superstar Cameron Brink is making waves in the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The magazine revealed on Tuesday that Brink, 22, will be one of the "trailblazing, young elite female athletes" featured in the upcoming issue, which hits newsstands in May. Brink, who sported a white bikini in her photoshoot from Boca Raton, Fla., joins a lineup of athletes, including Jordan Chiles, Caroline Marks, Ali Truwit, Gabby Thomas, Eileen Gu, Suni Lee and Nelly Korda.
“We are thrilled to launch our shoot season for the 2025 issue with an extraordinary lineup of powerful female athletes,” MJ Day, SI Swimsuit editor in chief shared of the Boca Raton shoot. “This remarkable group, featuring Olympic medalists, world champions, and record holders, embodies the next generation of all-stars poised to transform the world of sports. They defy stereotypes and champion equality, inspiring young girls to envision themselves as both athletes and leaders. At SI Swimsuit, we’ve always celebrated the future of women, and there’s no better way to honor these remarkable achievements than by featuring them on the pages of our issue.”
It marks a full-circle moment for Brink. During an appearance on "Podcast P with Paul George" in May, Brink named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue as a publication she would love to be featured in.
“I’ve always loved (it). I think it’s super empowering," Brink said. "What a cool opportunity to step outside your comfort zone."
Brink was drafted with the No. 2 overall pick by the Sparks in April and got off to a hot start, averaging 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists through 14 career games. Brink was named to the U.S. women’s 3x3 team at the 2024 Paris Olympics but ultimately withdrew from the team after suffering a torn ACL on June 18.
"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," Brink said on June 19. "It’s not goodbye basketball it’s just a see you later. I’m always so thankful for your thoughts and prayers."
