Cameron Brink powered through 2 nose plugs after face hit in Sparks win

•Yahoo Sports

Cameron Brink earned this win.

Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink soldiered through a nasty hit to the nose on Saturday night during her team's road stand against the Las Vegas Aces. After Brink took contact to the face from Aces forward NaLyssa Smith, she had to get two nose plugs up the nostrils to stop the bleeding and allow for her to return to the game. We're sure getting two nose plugs like this during a basketball game has to be so annoying for a player, but good on Brink for powering through what must be quite irritating and still pretty painful.

That's why they're the pros! Cam Brink with the double nostril plug after getting hit in the face pic. twitter.

Lucky for Brink and the Sparks, win, they did, 101-95. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Cameron Brink powered through 2 nose plugs after face hit in Sparks win
