LEXIE BROWN NEWS

Plays well off bench Brown finished Wednesday's 67-58 win over the Valkyries with seven points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes.

Impact Brown saw her second largest workload of the season and responded with her best scoring performance of the campaign. Brown had played a combined 16 minutes in her previous four games, but she's worth monitoring in case she's able to build some momentum from this.

Available Friday Brown (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Sun, Christian B of Fearless SC reports.

Impact After missing Wednesday's game against the Sun due to an illness, Brown will return to the floor Friday. The veteran guard has had a limited role during her first season with Seattle, playing only 7.1 minutes per game.

Questionable with illness Brown (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Sun, Christan Braswell of Circling Seattle Sports reports.

Impact After missing Wednesday's meeting with Connecticut, Brown remains iffy to suit up Friday. Her status should be revealed closer to tipoff. The likes of Tiffany Mitchell and Zia Cooke should have clearer pathways to playing time if Brown remains sidelined.

Won't play Wednesday Brown (illness) won't play Wednesday against the Sun, according to Christan Braswell of Circling Seattle Sports.

Impact Brown was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. The guard has played a minimal role for the Storm with an average of 7.1 minutes per night.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Brown (illness) will be available for Thursday's game against the Dream, Kevin Pelton of ESPN reports.

Impact After three straight games on the shelf, Brown is back to 100 percent for the Storm. The guard is a fringe rotation player for Seattle, however, so there aren't many fantasy implications here.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Brown (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Golden State, Matt Cohen of Winsidr.com reports.

Impact Brown will miss a third consecutive game while battling an illness, and she'll look to return to action against the Dream on Thursday. She averaged just 1.8 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists over 9.8 minutes per game in five appearances prior to her illness.

Remaining sidelined Friday Brown (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Sun, Brenden Potts of World Exposure Report reports.

Impact Brown will miss her second straight game Friday due to illness, with her next opportunity to play coming Sunday against the Valkyries. The guard has had a lackluster first season with the Storm, averaging 1.1 points on 13.3 percent shooting in 7.8 minutes per game across 11 appearances.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play Tuesday Brown (illness) didn't play in Tuesday's game versus the Fever.

Impact Brown was listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest and ultimately didn't suit up despite Seattle never updating her status. Brown's next chance to play is Friday's matchup with Connecticut.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Considered questionable for Tuesday Brown is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Fever due to an illness, Scott Horner and Chloe Peterson of the Indianapolis Star report.

Impact Brown is in danger of missing her first matchup since June 3 after being added to the team's injury report. The Storm will likely re-evaluate Brown closer to tipoff before providing another update on her availability.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Sees season-high 21 minutes Brown had three points (1-6 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 98-67 win over the Sparks.

Impact Due to the lopsided score, Brown saw a season-high 21 minutes. She wasn't able to take advantage of the opportunity, however. Through nine games, she's averaging 1.2 points and 0.6 rebounds in 8.4 minutes.

JUNE 18 • ROTOWIRE

Plays nine minutes in defeat Brown provided one rebound across nine minutes during Friday's 94-87 loss to the Dream.

Impact Brown indicated ahead of the 2025 season that she felt good after missing significant time over the last few years due to Crohn's disease. However, she's had a minimal role off the bench to begin her time with the Storm, as she's failed to record a point over five appearances this season, and she played single-digit minutes for a fourth consecutive outing Friday. Brown averaged 10.3 points and 2.8 assists in 27.0 minutes per game over her last two seasons with the Sparks, but she's been a non-factor in fantasy to begin the 2025 campaign.

MAY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Feeling good ahead of 2025 opener Brown (illness) doesn't expect to miss any games in 2025, Sara Jane Gamelli of Ball Is Life reports.

Impact Brown was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2024 and was forced to miss a good chunk of the campaign, but she's been feeling healthy over the offseason. Brown notes that her doctor's have helped her manage the disease well, and she's been feeling strong for about six months. All signs point to her being available for the beginning of the 2025 season, which is scheduled to start Sunday against Connecticut. Brown is in line to play a vital role for the Storm in the backcourt and will look to bounce back from shooting a sluggish 32.1 percent from the field over 16 appearances a year ago.
