Cameron Brink suffered a devastating injury during her rookie WNBA season. The 21-year-old recently made an appearance on “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” where she showed off her natural on-camera skills.

At one point during her time on the long-running game show, Brink revealed a detail about her injury. 

“We’ve done a lot of these celebrity shows, but we’ve never started off with an injury report,” host Pat Sajak said.

“So, I’m good now, it’s going to take a couple of months to be back.”

“We always have to give credit to the women before us (because) they’ve been building up this league for 25 years now. It’s crazy to think about. I think due in part to social media and just a really great rookie class, we’ve gained a lot of fans.”

“Yep. Second. Who knows how? Oh my gosh,” Brink quipped.
