Cameron Brink looked different on Friday night.

For the first time this season, Brink broke out a facemask for the Los Angeles Sparks. She had previously worn one during the Unrivaled season due to a broken nose that was recovering.

It wasn't immediately clear Friday what happened, but it's a hard look to miss, the black headpiece taking up most of Brink's face.

Regardless, it didn't slow down her game. Brink is hooping lately.
