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.

Instant Takeaways: Storm Outlast Sun, Raman Earns First Win as WNBA Head Coach

Lexie Brown and Jade Melbourne led an efficient, physical comeback in the second half, and the Seattle Storm got Sonia Raman her first win as a WNBA head coach in an 89-82 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Sunday, May 10, at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Brown rebounded from an abysmal season opener to sink five threes and lead the Storm with 17 points. Melbourne continued to be one of the fiestiest players on the court, totaling 15 points, six assists, one steal and one block. Rookie Flau’jae Johnson, though still inefficient, added 16 points, six rebounds, three steals and a block.

Connecticut was led by 17 points and 16 rebounds from Aneesah Morrow. Brittney Griner finished with 16 points, six rebounds and two steals.

The Storm battled foul trouble early, forcing Raman to dip even deeper into her bench. The balance across a 10-player lineup through two games has been incredibly unique.
