Lexie Brown

Brown re-signed with the Sparks after posting 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.0 minutes across 34 appearances (16 starts) last season, her first in Los Angeles. She was a solid threat from deep and shot 39.8 percent from three on 3.9 attempts per game. She'll compete with returning guard Jordin Canada, but Jasmine Thomas could also be in the mix, assuming her ACL injury that required surgery last season has healed. If Thomas misses time, Brown could also garner more usage than she did in 2022, when she finished just outside the top 50. The Sparks' losses of Katie Lou Samuelson (pregnancy) and Stephanie Talbot (knee) will also create more opportunities for Brown, who may have a chance to eclipse the top 50 if she stays healthy in 2023.
