Caitlin Clark Responds to Cameron Brink’s Major Personal News
Following her rookie season in the WNBA, Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink spent some time out of the country, traveling to Paris, France.
While Brink was in Paris, her now-fiance, Ben Felter, proposed to her. The Sparks star posted a few pictures of the announcement on social media, including a photo of Felter kneeling down to propose and a few photos after the engagement.
Upon the release of the photos, Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark responded to Brink’s announcement.
The young star posted four heart emojis, reacting to Brink’s life-changing news.
While Brink was wreaking havoc in the WNBA prior to her ACL injury midway through the season, Felter was finishing his last year at Stanford University.
Felter is also an athlete, previously competing on the men’s rowing team at Stanford. He started his journey on the rowing team in 2020 and went on to compete all four years with the Cardinals.
According to LinkedIn, Felter is now a researcher at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. He’s been working at the facility since May, 2023.
Before Brink’s WNBA rookie year was cut short 15 games into the season, she was competing for the Rookie of the Year award, mainly battling Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
The 6-foot-4 star averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. While she was active, she led the league with 2.3 blocks per game.
Angel Reese In Disbelief Over Cameron Brink’s Announcement
Chicago Sky star Angel Reese recently took to social media in response to Cameron Brink’s announcement. The Los Angeles Sparks star posted a few pictures with her now-fiance, Ben Felter, on Instagram.
Brink shared the photo of Felt kneeling down to propose as well as a few pictures after the engagement, captioning the post, “Yes in every lifetime.”
Reese was among the many women’s basketball figures who responded to Brink’s news by sending a message to the Sparks star, along with Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull, Sabrina Ionescu, Lexie Brown and Dearica Hamby.
“STOPPPP, congrats bby,” Reese said.
Brink’s rookie season with the Sparks was cut short after the 6-foot-4 center suffered an ACL injury that required surgery. She played in 15 games for Los Angeles, starting every game as a rookie.
After playing four seasons with the Stanford Cardinals, Brink was selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft. In her first year in the WNBA, she averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
Reese, on the other hand, had a historic rookie season with the Sky. The 6-foot-3 forward finished the season averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game.
Like Brink, she suffered an injury, but Reese was able to make an impact on Chicago for 34 games before her wrist surgery.
