Cameron Brink is getting ready to make her Sports Illustrated swimsuit debut

Los Angeles Sparks superstar Cameron Brink is all the rage in 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

The magazine revealed Tuesday that Brink, 22, will be one of the “elite and trailblazing young athletes” featured in the upcoming issue, which hits newsstands in May. Brink, who wore a white bikini in the photo shoot in Boca Raton, Florida, joins a group of athletes including Jordan Chiles, Caroline Marks, Ali Truwit, Gabby Thomas, Eileen Gu, Suni Lee and Nelly Korda.

“We’re thrilled to kick off our 2025 shoot season with an incredible lineup of powerhouse athletes,” SI Swimsuit Editor-in-Chief MJ Day said of the Boca Raton shoot. “This remarkable group of Olympic medalists, world champions and record holders embodies the next generation of stars poised to transform the world of sport. 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 in the pages of our issue.”

This marks a full circle moment for Brink. During an appearance on “Podcast P with Paul George” in May, Brink named the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue as a publication she would like to appear in.

“I’ve always loved him. I think it’s very encouraging,” Brink said. “What a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone.”

Brink was selected with the no. 2 overall by the Sparks in April and is off to a hot start, averaging 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14 career games. Brink was named to the US Women’s 3×3 Team to 2024 The Olympic Games in Paris but eventually retired from the team after suffering a torn ACL on June 18.

“I’m not going to be derailed and I’m going to continue to love this life — I’m not defined by basketball, but it’s something I love deeply and I’m going to work every day to get back to it,” Brink said on June 19. It’s not goodbye basketball, it’s just goodbye later. I am always so grateful for your thoughts and prayers.
