In the photo, Brink was pictured alongside Breeze teammates Rickea Jackson and Aari McDonald as the trio tested their reflexes during a falling-sticks drill. Brink held the sticks in place while McDonald and Jackson tried to react in time, turning the exercise into a lighthearted team-bonding moment.

Breeze BC is one of two new teams joining the 3x3 league, with Cameron Brink, Paige Bueckers, and Aari McDonald all set to make their tournament debuts.

They will be joined by Kate Martin and Rickea Jackson, who featured for the Laces and Mist last season, while Dominique Malonga rounds out the six-player roster. Noelle Quinn, meanwhile, is set to serve as the head coach for the Breeze.

The team is set to make its Unrivaled debut on January 5, opening the season against Phantom BC in Miami. Phantom is headlined by Mercury star Satou Sabally, with Kelsey Plum, Natasha Cloud, Aliyah Boston, Kiki Iriafen, Dana Evans, and Tiffany Hayes rounding out the roster.

Paige Bueckers praises Cameron Brink while reflecting on her decision to play Unrivaled

Paige Bueckers and Cameron Brink are set to suit up for Breeze BC in Unrivaled’s second season. While the duo has faced off multiple times in college and the WNBA, this will mark their first time playing on the same team since high school.

The Wings star reflected on this moment during a media appearance on Monday, while praising Brink.

"I haven't played with Cam since we were like 17 years old," Bueckers said (Timestamp: 11:28). "We’ve always supported each other and talked about being teammates again in the future, so having that opportunity now is really exciting." "I’ve always enjoyed playing with Cam, not just because of what she brings on the basketball court, but because of who she is as a person."

Bueckers also explained her decision to play in the 3V3 league during the interview.

"Along with Cam, I played a lot of three-on-three when I was younger through the Junior USA national and Junior Olympic teams," Bueckers said (Timestamp: 8:29). "It’s obviously different from five-on-five and brings a completely different dynamic."

Buckers and Brink will hope to win the Unrivaled title in their first season as they begin their journey next month.
