On Monday afternoon, the Dallas Wings announced that guard/forward Jaelyn Brown had accepted the team’s qualifying offer.

After bursting onto the scene last season, Brown made the team out of training camp as a 25-year-old rookie.

In the Wings’ lone preseason game, Brown scored 21 points on 7-15 shooting with 5 rebounds in a 79-76 win over the Indiana Fever.

Brown played in the Wings’ season-opening 87-79 win against the Chicago Sky on May 15th but was instantly sidelined with a nasal fracture that required surgery and then an illness.

Those injuries limited Brown to just 14 games in her debut season where she averaged 2.6 points and 1.5 rebounds per contest.

In Dallas’ final game of the season against Las Vegas, Brown scored a career-high 15 points while shooting 3-3 from beyond the arc.

Signing the qualifying offer puts Brown right back in the same position to compete for a roster spot in 2025.

As of now with the team’s current roster construction, things are shaping up well for Brown to make the team once again under new head coach Chris Koclanes.

However, with teams being able to start negotiating with free agents on January 21st, the Wings roster will be going through heavy change.

GM Curt Miller will look to fill the voids of forwards Satou Sabally and Natasha Howard who have both announced they will not be returning to Dallas in 2025.
