Cameron Brink, one of the most fascinating athletes of her generation, takes a moment from the basketball court to the beach in Boca Raton, Florida, as she joins the lineup for the 2025 SI Swimsuit Issue. The 22-year-old is known for her undeniable skills and towering presence on the field, bringing her fierce energy to the lens of photographer Ben Horton, along with several other groundbreaking young elite female athletes.

The feature marks a special full-circle moment for Brink, who named SI Badpak as one of her dream collaborations in an episode of Podcast P With Paul George earlier this year.

“I’ve always loved SI Swimsuit,” she said. “I think it’s super powerful.”

From her impressive college career at Stanford to her rookie year in the WNBA with the Los Angeles Sparks, Brink not only dominates the court but also redefines the intersection of fashion and sports with her sleek, statement pre-game tunnel looks.

“We are excited to launch our shoot season for the 2025 issue with an extraordinary lineup of powerful female athletes,” SI Swimsuit Editor-in-Chief MJ Day said of the Boca Raton shoot. “This remarkable group, made up of Olympic medalists, world champions and record holders, embodies the next generation of all-stars poised to transform the world of sports. They defy stereotypes and advocate for equality, inspiring young girls to see themselves as athletes and leaders. At SI Swimming, we have always celebrated the future of women, and there is no better way to honor these remarkable achievements than by featuring them in the pages of our issue.”

At Stanford, Brink quickly cemented himself as a power forward. As a freshman, she contributed to the Cardinal’s 2021 NCAA Championship win and during her four years in California, she amassed an impressive list of accolades, including two-time Pac-12 Player of the Year and three-time Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year theYear. the annual titles.

Brink broke the Stanford record for blocked shots, turning the Cardinal defense into a formidable wall. She also made a name for herself internationally by leading Team USA to gold at the 2019 FIBA ​​Under-19 and Under-18 World Cups and again at the FIBA ​​World Cup in Vienna, where she won MVP honors last summer deserved.

The No. 2 overall pick of the WNBA draft, the newly recruited athlete began her professional journey with the Los Angeles Sparks in 2024 with high expectations and even greater potential. Despite a setback with a torn ACL injury early in the season, she is on the road to recovery, ready to reclaim her place on the field with the same intensity she has shown since her college days.

The New Jersey native is determined to make her mark in the league and looks forward to a return that promises strong contributions to her team. Fans and critics alike expect her continued growth as a dominant WNBA force, with Brink poised to blaze new trails for women in professional basketball.

When she’s not dominating on the court, Brink is certainly one to watch in the fashion world. She has chosen to spend her time restoring beauty and style, and is constantly making headlines for her impeccable outfits, if not for her powerful plays.

Brink is also a savvy entrepreneur and advocate for women’s empowerment. She uses her platform to promote mental health awareness and create the Next22 basketball camp, mentoring young girls by combining athletic training with life skills. She was an early adopter of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) capabilities and used her high profile to collaborate with brands like New Balance – where she became the first female basketball athlete signed by the company – and with major companies such as Urban Decay, Optimal Nutrition and SKIMS.

Brink is slowly but surely building a legacy that extends far beyond her sport, inspiring a new generation of athletes to pursue their dreams both on the field and in their communities.
