After she was selected as the number-two pick, Brink became emotional. “I’m an ugly cryer,” Brink told ESPN. “This is just such a nerve-wracking environment, but we work so hard for this, and I just have to shout out all my girls.…I’m so happy to be associated with all of them in the league, and I’m just very thankful.”

Brink is the godsister of Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry. His mother, Sonya, attended the 2024 WNBA draft in support of Brink.
“I fall in love with the game even more just being here in New York with these girls,” Brink continued. “My passion is reignited. The college season is hard but I’m looking forward to a new challenge and ready to get to work.”
Black-and-white hues were trending throughout awards season after being spotted on the runways of Gucci, Chloé and Carven. Pared-down palettes were popular among attendees at shows like the Golden Globes and the Oscars, with stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Keri Russell and Carey Mulligan partaking in the fad.
