Sad for Brink she was doing well

What does that remotely have to do with her injury?

The only good thing I can say to Cam is at least its not an Achilles injury which would have been a lot worse

That still has nothing to do with the injury that she suffered and his comment about lowering the rim.

It looks like she either slipped or her knee buckled. That could have happened to any other basketball player men or women.
