This summer has been difficult for Los Angeles Sparks guard Lexie Brown. The WNBA star was out for the rest of the season due to a non-COVID-19 illness, as announced by the Sparks on Tuesday. The team released a statement expressing their support for Brown during the process and requested respect for her privacy.
In response to the news, Brown took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to thank her supporters for their positivity and prayers. She also opened up to her Instagram followers, saying that it’s “been a rough few months, but happy that my health is headed in a positive direction.” She added that the illness has been a “minor setback, but nothing I can’t handle.” Brown has been updating her TikTok followers about her road to recovery. She revealed that she had been “in and out of the hospital for months now, and it’s been a very mentally draining process.”
Fortunately, Brown was cleared to do light workouts and has been doing pilates since. Her social media followers have high hopes that her break from the court will result in a major comeback. Since joining the Sparks in 2022, ESPN reported that she has competed 12 times and started 11 games. She is praised for her defensive and three-point shooting skills on the court. Brown was officially sidelined for the remainder of the season in late July.
Brown was a first-round pick from Duke in 2018. She has played for Connecticut, Minnesota, and Chicago, and holds a WNBA title from her Chicago team. Fans are looking forward to her return and hope that she will be able to make a triumphant comeback.
