When the WNBA star Cameron Brink is in attendance, the cardinal rule for every NBA player is to not embarrass themselves. The Los Angeles Sparks star made her presence known when she arrived at the Miami Heat’s Saturday night showdown against the Utah Jazz. The underwhelming fact remains that the game was anything but a showdown.
The Heat lost 136-100 in embarrassing fashion to the Jazz in a blowout game in which Heat star Jimmy Butler was absent following his controversial suspension. Although the game was not much of a contest, Cameron Brink was certainly the highlight for most viewers. The WNBA talent stole the show when cameras panned to her sitting courtside.
Brink has been in attendance for a number of games throughout the NBA season, stunning players and the crowd alike with her presence. This follows a theme of WNBA stars making courtside appearances at major league games throughout the last few months. Most notable of these, however, might be Angel Reese’s remarkable record of undefeated home teams whenever she appears for games.

Unfortunately for Cameron Brink, her presence did not do much for the Heat. Perhaps, the Heat would have had a better fortune had Jimmy Butler played. However, rumors suggest Butler may leave the team soon. This may have come as a bummer to Brink, who has been a self-proclaimed fan of Butler and his game.
Fans left embarrassed as Heat lose in front of Cameron Brink
Miami Heat fans had a number of reasons to be embarrassed on Saturday night. Not only did their team lose in blowout fashion to the 14th-seeded Utah Jazz, but they did so with Cameron Brink in attendance. Fans took to the internet, blasting the Heat and their players after the game. Here are some of the best reactions:

As the Heat look to regroup, their fans will certainly hope that this embarrassing defeat serves as a wake-up call for the team’s front office and players. The primary agenda for the Heat at the moment will be the Jimmy Butler situation as the superstar looks to seek a trade out of Miami. After handing him a seven game suspension, tensions within the team seem to be high in light of Butler’s appeal.
As for Cameron Brink, her eyes will still be set on bouncing back from her devastating knee injury which put her out of action early in last year’s WNBA season. She recently shared an encouraging update about the condition of her knee. An optimistic timeline for her recovery will have her ready to gear up for the Sparks season opener on May 15.
