After a 13-month recovery from an ACL injury, former Oregon high school star Cameron Brink will make her highly anticipated return for the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday against the Las Vegas Aces.

The Sparks have come flying out of the All-Star break. After a dramatic 101-99 win over the New York Liberty on Saturday, Los Angeles has won five consecutive games and improved to 11-14 on the season; entering Tuesday night's home game against the Las Vegas Aces, the Sparks are one game out of the eighth and final WNBA playoff spot.

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.
