Storm Waive Lexie Brown Ahead of Bout vs. Aces

The Seattle Storm have waived guard Lexie Brown, the team announced on Monday.

Brown appeared in 10 of the Storm’s 12 games this season, but she missed the last two games after reportedly being “not with the team.” She averaged 3.8 points (46.2% FG), 1.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.5 steals in 14.8 minutes per game.

Following a 17-point outing in the Storm’s second game of the season, Brown’s minutes had steadily decreased. Her next-highest scoring game was just seven points against the Washington Mystics on May 24.

Brown was originally acquired by the Storm in an offseason trade that included draft compensation before the 2025 season. The former 2018 No. 9 overall pick was in an even smaller role last season, averaging just 9.5 minutes per game and 2.1 points, 0.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.4 steals.
