WNBA rookie Cameron Brink suffered a torn ACL in her left knee last week, ending her first professional season and cutting her bid to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Replacing Brink on Team USA’s 3×3 women’s basketball squad will be Los Angeles Sparks teammate Dearica Hamby, USA Basketball announced Monday.

This will be Hamby’s first Olympics, but not her first time representing Team USA. She was part of the gold medal winning 3×3 team at the 2023 FIBA AmeriCup.
