Lexie Brown set to begin 2025 WNBA season with new team after being traded by the LA Sparks

After spending the past three seasons with the LA Sparks, Lexie Brown was traded to the Seattle Storm this offseason in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick.

Now, she will look to help the Storm make a deep postseason run after a first-round elimination in the 2024 WNBA playoffs at the hands of the Las Vegas Aces.

While the Storm parted ways with Jewell Loyd this offseason, they're optimistic that with Brown on their roster, they can make waves this year.

In the team's press release announcing the news, Storm GM Talisa Rhea was quoted as saying:

"Lexie is a prolific shooter and all-around great player that bolsters our backcourt. Her tenacity to make plays on both sides of the ball and ability to stretch the defense with tremendous range are great additions to our roster and we are thrilled to welcome her to Seattle."
