Cameron Brink’s connection to the Curry family runs deeper, and differently, than most coverage of her gets right. Her actual godfather is Dell Curry, the former NBA player, not his son Stephen, a mix-up that shows up constantly online.
She’s a 6-foot-4 forward for the Los Angeles Sparks, the second overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, whose rookie season was cut short by a torn ACL after just 15 games, a setback she fought back from to return to the court in 2025 while also getting engaged to her longtime boyfriend along the way.
Cameron Brink Biography
She was born December 31, 2001, in Princeton, New Jersey. Her father, Greg Brink, and her mother, Michelle Bain-Brink, both worked for Nike, and the family relocated to Amsterdam when Cameron was eight, staying until she started sixth grade before moving back to the United States and eventually settling in Oregon.
Cameron Brink has a younger brother named Cy. The Curry family connection actually runs through her parents’ own college years. Dell Curry and Greg Brink were teammates on the Virginia Tech Hokies football and basketball programs, while Sonya Curry and Michelle Bain-Brink were college roommates.
The two couples stayed close friends long after graduating, close enough that the relationship became reciprocal: Dell and Sonya Curry are Cameron’s godparents, while Cameron’s own parents, Greg and Michelle, are Stephen Curry’s godparents.
That friendship has endured even through the senior Currys’ 2021 divorce.
Cameron picked up basketball somewhat by accident, having been more interested in art and volleyball as a kid, until she attended a camp in Charlotte, North Carolina, run by Dell Curry while her family was visiting, and the sport stuck from there.
Stephen Curry, effectively her godbrother given the family ties, has remained a mentor figure throughout her career, attending some of her high school and Stanford games and appearing regularly in her Instagram posts. She has called him one of her best role models.
WNBA Career
Cameron Brink played three years at Southridge High School in Beaverton, Oregon, before transferring to Mountainside High School for her senior season.
She averaged 12.5 points per game as a sophomore, 17.1 as a junior, and 19.7 as a senior after her transfer.
She won Oregon Gatorade Player of the Year honors after both her sophomore and junior seasons, led her team to Class 6A state championships in 2017 and 2018, and was named Oregon’s Player of the Year by USA Today as a junior.
She was also a standout volleyball player at Southridge, helping the team win the program’s first-ever state championship as a sophomore.
She was rated a five-star recruit and committed to Stanford, calling it her dream school, in November 2018. Her McDonald’s All-American Game and Jordan Brand Classic appearances were both canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, though ESPN still ranked her third nationally in her high school class.
College Career at Stanford
Brink averaged 9.9 points per game as a Stanford freshman, helping the Cardinal win the Pac-12 tournament and the 2021 NCAA championship, and set a program freshman record with 88 blocks.
As a sophomore, she broke her own single-season blocks record with 91, averaged 13.5 points per game, and was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. Stanford reached the Final Four in 2022.
In February 2023, she became Stanford’s all-time leading shot blocker. As a junior, she again won Pac-12 and WBCA Defensive Player of the Year honors while averaging 15.1 points per game and setting a new blocks record of 118, finishing third nationally in blocks per game that season.
Her senior year included a career-high 29 points against Duke in November 2023 and a program record 24 rebounds on February 29, 2024, and she was named Pac-12 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season.
She completed her communications degree remotely while later recovering from injury.
WNBA Career and ACL Injury
The Los Angeles Sparks selected Brink second overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She made her professional debut on May 4, 2024, scoring 11 points, and was off to a promising start, averaging 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks through her first 15 games.
On June 18, 2024, she tore her ACL in her left knee during a game against Connecticut, ending her rookie season and requiring surgery.
Her recovery became a major part of her public story over the following year. She launched a podcast, Straight to Cam, with Sydel Curry-Lee, Stephen Curry’s sister, and model Kayla Nicole, using it as a platform to speak candidly about her rehab.
In March 2025, roughly eight months into recovery, she described the process as a whirlwind, saying the hardest part was finally starting to jump, run and cut again after so long without those movements, and that the mental side of relearning the game had been just as difficult as the physical rebuild.
She credited vision boards as part of her recovery mindset, describing one she made centered on what she called her wonderful life, filled with images of her fiancé and symbols of family and team rather than stats or accolades.
In December 2024, she signed a multi-year deal with the Lunar Owls of Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 offseason league.
However, that specific commitment was expected to be delayed until 2026 given her recovery timeline.
She returned to play for the Sparks in the WNBA itself in July 2025, drawing an ovation in her comeback appearance roughly thirteen months after the injury occurred.
Earlier in her career, Brink also won gold with the U.S. national team at the 2018 FIBA Under-17 World Cup and the 2019 FIBA Under-19 World Cup, and won the 2023 FIBA 3×3 World Cup, where she was named tournament MVP.
Ben Felter
Cameron Brink began dating Ben Felter, a member of Stanford’s rowing team, in 2021. Felter proposed in September 2024 in Paris, timing the trip around Brink’s attendance at Paris Fashion Week; she had just come from the Balenciaga show and had no idea he had flown overseas to surprise her.
He proposed in front of the Eiffel Tower near the Shangri-La Paris Hotel, and Brink announced the engagement on Instagram with the caption yes in every lifetime, drawing congratulations from fellow WNBA stars including Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
The two had been together for almost four years at that point. Brink has said Felter’s support through her injury and rehab brought them closer than ever, describing his presence through her non-weight-bearing recovery phase and the smaller victories along the way as a defining part of getting through it.
The couple is planning a long engagement, with a wedding expected on Stanford’s campus in 2026.
