WNBA star Lexie Brown may have been sidelined from the court, but she's certainly making waves online. The 31-year-old guard recently dropped a series of vacation photos from Ibiza, and fans couldn't get enough.
Brown, a former Duke standout and WNBA champion, has been soaking up the sun and sea in style. Her Instagram post featured her in a chic swimsuit, lounging against a backdrop of crystal-clear waters and stunning Mediterranean views. The response was immediate and overwhelmingly positive.
“How are you real,” one fan commented, while another wrote, “Ibiza looks good on you.” A third simply called her a “natural beauty.” The post quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments, igniting a frenzy among WNBA followers.
From Hardwood to Beachfront
Brown's career has seen plenty of movement since she was drafted ninth overall by the Connecticut Sun in 2018. She's suited up for the Minnesota Lynx, Chicago Sky, Los Angeles Sparks, and most recently, the Seattle Storm. But earlier this month, the Storm released her mid-season, a move that surprised many given her solid contributions. Through 2025, she averaged 3.8 points per game on 46.2% shooting from the field.
Despite the setback, Brown appears unfazed. Her vacation photos suggest she's taking the downtime in stride, enjoying a well-earned break from the grind of professional basketball. The former Duke star has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 assists per game over her career, and her championship pedigree—she won a title with the Chicago Sky in 2021—makes her an intriguing option for teams looking to bolster their backcourt later this season.
Brown's social media presence has always been a hit with fans, but this latest post has taken things to a new level. It's a reminder that even in the off-court moments, WNBA stars can captivate audiences. The buzz also echoes the recent summer swimsuit snap from Gigi Hadid, which similarly set social media ablaze. While Brown's post is more personal than professional, it's clear her fanbase is fully behind her, both on and off the hardwood.
Will another team give Brown a chance this season? With her talent and experience, it's certainly possible. For now, she's enjoying the sun, the sea, and the love from WNBA fans who can't stop talking about her latest look.
