Brown was a key part of the Mercury’s Finals run last year, averaging 5.1 points and 4 rebounds per game in 29 appearances.
Since her contract was bought out by the Mercury in the off-season, Brown has not been on a WNBA roster until this signing with Las Vegas.
The Aces’ social media also shared photos of Brown in their practice facility Friday afternoon.
