Lexie Brown - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Why the Storm are parting ways with Lexie Brown, and what comes next | Sporting News Seattle has decided to go in a different direction.

JUNE 8 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Waived by Storm The Storm waived Brown on Monday, per Sara Jane Gamelli of BallisLife.com.

Impact The writing was on the wall that Brown was being phased out in Seattle, considering she missed each of the squad's past two games due to not being with the team. Brown has nine years of WNBA experience under her belt, so she should draw some consideration as a free agent.

JUNE 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play versus Aces Brown (not with team) is listed as out for Monday's game against Las Vegas.

Impact Brown is away from the team and will miss her third consecutive contest Monday. Her next opportunity to get back on the floor will be Wednesday versus the Sparks.

Away from team Brown (not with team) is out for Saturday's game against the Lynx

Impact Brown will be away from the team for at least one contest Saturday. Her next chance to rejoin the Storm comes during Monday's showdown with the defending-champion Aces.

JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 11 minutes in loss Brown closed Wednesday's 78-64 loss to Washington with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one assist in 11 minutes.

Impact Brown has now seen 13 or fewer minutes in three straight games. Until she can carve out a larger role in the rotation, she may struggle to offer much fantasy appeal.

Quiet in defeat Brown racked up three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and four rebounds in 17 minutes during Sunday's 89-78 loss to the Fever.

Impact Although Brown is playing steady minutes for the Storm in the early going, she's been a boom-or-bust fantasy option for the most part. She scored 17 points during the May 10 win over the Sun, but Brown has been held to three points or zero in her other three appearances.

Drops 17 points in win Brown notched 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), one assist and one block across 21 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 89-82 win over the Sun.

Impact After going scoreless in Friday's regular-season-opening loss to the Valkyries, Brown bounced back Sunday. The veteran guard knocked down a game-best five triples en route to a game-high-tying 17 points, though she didn't offer much in terms of peripheral numbers. Brown will likely continue to see significant burn off the bench behind Flau'jae Johnson and Natisha Hiedeman.

Impact Jade Melbourne, Flau'jae Johnson, Dominique Malonga and Stefanie Dolson will join Brown in the starting lineup for Saturday's exhibition. Brown averaged 2.1 points on 35.4 percent shooting from the field and 70.0 percent at the line through 24 games with the Storm last season.

JANUARY 15 • Associated Press

Doesn't play Thursday Brown didn't play in Thursday's 74-73 Game 3 loss to the Aces.

Impact Brown played seven minutes during Sunday's Game 1 against the Aces, but she didn't take the court in either of the final two matchups in the first-round series. The 30-year-old was available for most of the 2025 campaign after missing the majority of the last two seasons due to Crohn's disease, but she had limited production with the Storm, averaging just 2.1 points and 1.0 assists in 9.5 minutes per game while coming off the bench in all 24 regular-season appearances. She'll remain under contract with Seattle in 2026 but could have some trouble carving out a fantasy-relevant role.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets on board with two points Brown finished Tuesday's 95-75 loss to Indiana with two points (1-1 FG), three assists and one steal in six minutes.

Impact Brown has found the playing time hard to come by this season with the Storm. She made her only field-goal attempt, and her three assists were actually a season high. Brown is good for 3.5 points, 2.5 assists and 1.0 rebound per game in the past two outings while averaging 9.0 minutes per contest.

AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available Sunday Brown (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Sparks, Roberta F. Rodrigues of Beta Basket reports.

Impact Brown will shed her probable tag due to an illness and suit up Sunday. However, the 30-year-old guard isn't guaranteed significant playing time, as she didn't see the floor in Friday's loss to the Aces and has logged just 13 total minutes in her last two appearances.

AUGUST 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable to play Sunday Brown is probable to play Sunday against the Sparks due to an illness, Circling Seattle Sports reports.

Impact Brown didn't play in the 90-86 loss to the Aces on Friday, and she's failed to reach the 20-minute mark in each of her previous six outings off the bench. Even though the probable tag suggests she might be available Sunday, her chances of making a big fantasy impact are slim.

AUGUST 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient off bench Brown posted five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 13 minutes during Friday's 108-106 loss to the Sparks.

Impact Brown missed only one field goal, as she continues to be efficient in limited time in the second unit. In 19 appearances this season, she's averaging 2.3 points across 10.0 minutes per game.

AUGUST 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 in 16 minutes Brown recorded 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Thursday's 95-57 win over the Sky.

Impact The Storm blew out the Sky on Thursday, allowing Brown to feast in garbage time. Therefore, fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to this outlier performance from Brown, as she's averaging 8.8 minutes per contest this season.

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.
