Seattle Storm acquire Lexie Brown in trade with Sparks

Renton, WALocal News

The Seattle Storm have acquired guard Lexie Brown from the Los Angeles Sparks in a trade that also includes a 2025 third-round pick. In exchange, the Storm are sending two second-round picks back to the Sparks, one for 2025 and another for 2027. Brown, a seven-year WNBA veteran, enjoyed a breakout season last year, averaging a career-high 12. 4 points per game while shooting 41. 5 percent from three-point range.

Storm general manager Talisa Rhea expressed enthusiasm for the deal, emphasizing Brown's shooting prowess and her capability to make impactful plays on both ends of the court. This trade not only bolsters Seattle's backcourt but also reunites Brown with Nneka Ogwumike, her former teammate at the Sparks. The acquisition is a clear indication of the Storm's ambition to remain competitive in the WNBA. As the team looks ahead to the 2025 season, Brown's addition is expected to enhance their offensive strategy. Fans can look forward to seeing how this new dynamic unfolds on the court.
