LexieBrown

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Brown has flashed fantasy potential since joining the Sparks in 2022, and she was on track for one of the best seasons of her career in 2023. However, she made just 12 appearances (11 starts) while dealing with a bacterial infection that required three procedures and forced her to miss significant time down the stretch. The 29-year-old was productive when on the court, averaging 12.4 points, 2.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per game, and she shot a career-best 41.5 percent on 5.4 three-point attempts per game. Brown expects to be healthy for the Athletes Unlimited season this spring, and her performance on that stage could help provide an idea of how she's doing with her conditioning ahead of the WNBA season. The Sparks didn't make many splashes in free agency but hold the second and fourth overall picks in this year's draft, so they could add a few impactful rookies. Regardless of who the Sparks draft, if Brown is deemed fully healthy, she'll likely have the chance to handle plenty of work for Los Angeles this year.
