Cameron Brink is looking on the bright side of life despite suffering what is likely a season-ending ACL tear in her left knee earlier this month.

In the first photos of Brink since the injury, see is seen in several shots posted on her Instagram page.

She captioned the post, “So much change, yet so much joy.”

In the three photos, Brink was smiling while getting in pics of her with an adorable pup seemingly named Olive.

The first photo in the carousel shows Brink seemingly using crutches and wearing a blue leg sleeve on her right leg.

The No. 2 overall pick in this year’s WNBA draft was standing next to her boyfriend, Ben Felter, who was snapping the picture while holding the dog in a carrying bag.

The second picture showed Brink and Felter walking through a sun-filled parking lot with the former Stanford rower holding Olive and Brink walking with a pair of crutches.

The last slide is a video of the K9 running on the grass.

In an Instagram story post, Brink also shared an image of her holding Olive while lying on what appeared to be a physical therapy table.

The Sparks’ star suffered the injury on June 18 in a 79-70 loss to the Sun.

Brink has averaged 7.5 points per game, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks this season.

The injury was a tough blow for the Sparks, who are 4-13 this season, and will keep Brink from going to the Paris Olympics this summer to participate in the 3×3 tournament.

Brink was part of a star-studded draft class that included superstars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, along with star Kamilla Cardoso.
