Cameron Brink 'icked out' by online reaction to Sparks' call for male practice players - ESPN

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink said she was unsettled by the response she had seen online to a call by the team for male players to try out for the practice squad.

The Sparks, in a social media post last week, put out a call for male practice players to sign up for a tryout, and got such an overwhelming response that the team stopped taking applications.

Brink did not oppose playing against men in practice — but was not pleased with responses she saw to the flyer, which featured her and teammates Dearica Hamby, Rickea Jackson and Kelsey Plum.

We're looking for male practice players for the 2025 season. Do you have what it takes?
