Cameron Brink Says WNBA Needs to Expand Roster Sizes amid Knee Injury Rehab

Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink believes it's time for the WNBA to increase its roster sizes for teams.

"It's so unfortunate that rosters can only hold 12 [players]," she said Wednesday on her Straight to Cam podcast (49:17 mark). "Personally, I think roster sizes need to be expanded before we add any more expansion teams, because it's kinda crazy. Twelve? Twelve people for a roster is, like, insane."

For comparison, NBA teams are allowed to hold up to 15 players on their rosters, alongside two-way contracts that allows up to three players to split their time between the NBA team and G League.

When WNBA players negotiate a new CBA with the league owners, increasing player pay and mandating travel charter will certainly be at the forefront. But don't be surprised if increasing the roster sizes is also part of the negotiations.

As for Brink, she continues to recover from a torn ACL that cut her rookie season short, with her return expected in June.
