Former Mercury center Kalani Brown gets candid about her WNBA return and joining the Aces
LAS VEGAS — Former Phoenix Mercury center Kalani Brown spent the summer waiting for another WNBA opportunity. When it finally came, it brought her back to a team that ended her previous season.
Former Phoenix Mercury center Kalani Brown has returned to the WNBA, signing with the Las Vegas Aces after a buyout with her previous team. Brown spent the 2025 season with the Mercury, averaging 5.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting 61.5% from the field. However, her playing time was limited due to the Mercury's tightened rotation ahead of the postseason.
Brown's return to the Aces is particularly notable as the team ended Phoenix's championship run last season, and she is expected to complement the roster filled with All-Stars. Brown has expressed her excitement about joining the Aces and working with head coach Becky Hammon, who utilizes her centers in a way she couldn't do in Phoenix.
