Kalani Brown - Page 2 - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Productive in limited action Brown finished with five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one block over nine minutes during Monday's 78-77 win over the Valkyries.

Impact Despite a very limited workload, Brown made the most of her minutes Monday. She had just played two minutes in her previous outing, so until her role trends up in a big way, she'll be hard to trust in most fantasy formats.

Plays well in win Brown totaled six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 24 minutes during Monday's 102-72 win over the Wings.

Impact With Kahleah Copper (hamstring) and Satou Sabally (ankle) both sidelined, Brown stepped up for the Mercury, warranting some attention from prospective fantasy managers. Both Copper and Sabally are day-to-day, however, so Brown's fantasy appeal could be short-lived.

Quiet off bench Brown posted two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 98-89 loss to Dallas.

Impact Brown continues to play a minimal role off the bench for the Mercury, though she has made the most of her minutes this campaign. In 13.9 minutes per night, she's hitting 63.2 percent from the field with averages of 5.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.5 blocks.

Muted role continues Sunday Brown produced six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Sunday's 84-81 loss to the Aces.

Impact After sitting out consecutive games on June 11 and June 15, Brown has continued to play a lesser role off the bench. She's averaged just 4.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 10.6 minutes per game over her last five appearances, and Brown should continue to share the center minutes with Natasha Mack going forward.

Sees seven minutes Brown registered two rebounds and one steal in seven minutes during Thursday's 89-81 victory over the Liberty.

Impact Brown's minutes continue to trend in the wrong direction for Phoenix -- she's seen a total of 12 minutes in her last two appearances. She's well off the fantasy radar while the frontcourt in Phoenix is healthy.

Off report for Wednesday Brown (illness) isn't listed on the Mercury's injury report for Wednesday's game against the Sun, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact Brown is set to return from a two-game absence due to an illness. Over her last five outings, the 28-year-old center has averaged 7.4 points and 5.4 rebounds across 17.0 minutes per game. However, her playing time could decline with Natasha Mack available.

Won't play Sunday Brown (illness) is out for Sunday's game against the Aces, freelance Mercury writer Jeff Metcalfe reports.

Impact Brown is not with the team due to an illness, so it's not a surprise to see her ruled out for this matchup. Her next chance to play will come against the Sun on Wednesday. In the meantime, Murjanatu Musa should see more minutes in the frontcourt as a backup option.

No-go Wednesday Brown (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Wings, Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact Brown is battling an illness and was added to the injury report as doubtful earlier Wednesday. The center will miss the matchup against Dallas, marking her first absence of the season. Thankfully for the Mercury, Natasha Mack (back) is likely to make her 2025 debut Wednesday and can eat up some minutes at the five. Still, expect Murjanatu Musa to see an uptick in playing time. Brown's next chance to play will come Sunday in Las Vegas.

Doubtful with illness Brown is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Dallas due to an illness, Matt Cohen of Winsidr.com reports.

Impact Brown was a late addition to the injury report and is likely to sit out this contest for Phoenix. She has a minimal role in the rotation, playing an average of 15.4 minutes per contest with 6.5 points and 3.1 rebounds. In Brown's absence, Murjanatu Musacould be a bit more involved Wednesday.

Cleared for Tuesday Brown (knee) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Lynx.

Impact Brown was listed as questionable on the injury report but is good to go Tuesday. The 28-year-old will serve as the primary center off the bench with Natasha Mack (back) sidelined.

Questionable for Tuesday Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lynx, Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact Brown is listed on the injury report for the first time this season. The center has carved out a consistent role off the bench, averaging 11.5 points and 6.5 rebounds over her past two outings. If Brown is unavailable and with Natasha Mack (back) already ruled out, Murjanatu Musa could be in line for a significant uptick in minutes.

JUNE 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient off bench Friday Brown logged 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Friday's 74-71 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Brown didn't get the start Friday, but that didn't prevent her from being extremely efficient -- she missed only one of her eight shots from the floor and was one of Phoenix's top scorers in this loss. Brown has been efficient off the bench since she's shooting 63 percent from the floor in her first six outings, but she's not expected to have a lot of fantasy value as long as she continues to play with the second unit while averaging a mere 15.3 minutes per contest.

Brown finished the two-game preseason schedule averaging 5.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per contest.
