Here’s why Dearica Hamby is the perfect Olympic replacement for Cameron Brink

Dearica Hamby Cam Cameron Brink Olympics (Event) Angel Reese Caitlin Clark Curt Miller Magic Johnson Paris Sparks

Cameron Brink‘s teammate, Dearica Hamby, will replace her in the Paris Olympics, and it’s absolutely perfect.

Earlier this month, when Cameron Brink suffered a season-ending injury, speculation began about who could replace her in Paris. Truthfully, the list was limited because of FIBA’s regulations for 3×3 basketball.

But, as fate would have it, Dearica Hamby, Cameron Brink’s teammate, actually qualifies for Olympic consideration and has the 3×3 experience to back it up. Honestly, it’s all so perfect because not only did Dearica show tremendous support for Cam after her season ended, but she’ll get a chance to continue that support at the Olympics in Cam’s slot.

Hoops fans, including Magic Johnson and Sparks head coach Curt Miller and, loved the selection. Here’s what they said:
