Brown signed with the Dallas Wings during the 2024 regular season, averaging 2.6 points and 1.5 rebounds over 14 games played. She was traded to the Indiana Fever in February, where she attended training camp, but was waived before the season began.

What Jaelyn Brown brings to the Connecticut Sun

The Sun currently have a league-worst 1-6 record and are fresh off a 100-52 loss to the New York Liberty. So far this season, they’ve been led by Marina Mabrey (15 points, 5.1 rebounds), Tina Charles (16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds), and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (9.6 points, 6.4 rebounds).
In addition to Mabrey, rookie Saniya Rivers, Bria Hartley, Jacey Sheldon, and Haley Peters have played most of the minutes at the guard/forward spots. and Brown will now compete with those players for a spot in the rotation.
