Leigha Brown

Brown appeared in 25 games for Connecticut as a rookie in 2023 but averaged only 5.2 minutes per night. She's among the first wave of cuts for the Sun, who haven't played a preseason game yet.

Brown saw a limited role off the bench with Connecticut in her rookie season, playing in just over half of the regular-season contests while averaging just over a handful of minutes a contest. Brown, who was a third-round draft pick out of Michigan in 2023, remains under contract with the Sun for the next few years so she will have the chance to prove herself again in 2024 with Connecticut.

Brown saw three minutes during garbage time, failing to score in another quiet performance. She had played at least 10 minutes in three of the previous four games, although that was likely due to the proximity to the end of the regular season. In 5.2 minutes per game, she is averaging just 0.8 points and 0.8 rebounds.

Brown played double-digit minutes for just the third time this season, scoring a season-high five points. The fact she had barely seen the floor in well over a month tells you everything you need to know about this game.

Brown saw action again after three games without any court time. The rookie was unable to score and ended with one turnover and one foul. Brown has seen limited action this season and will likely continue to play a minor role amongst the Sun's talented roster.
