“[Jaelyn Brown] is dynamic, she’s athletic, she has the ability to get downhill…she’s a great rebounding guard,” Stephanie White said when addressing the players who had been battling for a spot on the final roster. Jaelyn Brown was traded to the Indiana Fever along with Sophie Cunningham and the 19th pick in the 2025 WNBA draft in a four-team deal between the Dallas Wings, Phoenix Mercury, and Connecticut Sun. However, in a recent update, things are not looking great for the 26-year-old.

The Indiana Fever waived Brown before the start of the regular season as part of the final cuts to finalize the roster. She was on a non-standard training contract, which means she is a free agent now. With that, let us delve deeper into Brown’s net worth. 

What is Jaelyn Brown’s net worth?

Jaelyn Brown’s net worth is undisclosed to the public. There is no official data to ascertain just how much Brown’s actual net worth is. She previously played in the league with the Dallas Wings after her training camp contract was extended for the season. Brown has also made appearances in several international leagues, although no data is available regarding her financial gains from playing there. However, the details regarding her Indiana Fever contract are public, so let’s have a look at that.

Jaelyn Brown’s Contract Breakdown

Brown initially played with the Dallas Wings in 2024 after going undrafted in the 2020 WNBA draft. Brown had signed a training camp contract with the Wings and proved her worth to have her place cemented in the roster, signing a one-year qualifying deal. And after being traded to Indiana, Brown was waived before the start of the regular season. 

Below is the breakdown of her now voided contract:

What is Jaelyn Brown’s salary?

As discussed earlier, Jaelyn Brown has been waived by the Indiana Fever and will have her one-year contract voided. Had that not been the case, Brown would have made $66,079 as her salary for the season. Moving on, Brown will most probably go back to playing in international leagues and will earn her checks from there. Although her previous salaries internationally remain undisclosed, we can only assume that she will earn a decent wage, as most WNBA players end up making modest wages internationally. 

As Brown would have made a little over $66,000 had she played for the Fever, let us peek at why her contract with the Fever was voided.

Why were Jaelyn Brown’s contracts waived?

It is difficult for players in the WNBA to secure a spot on the team. As team rosters are limited to 12 players before the start of the regular season, teams have to make the hard decision of waiving players and making cuts to finalize their rosters. Brown is facing a similar scenario to Fever, having to make tough calls while finalizing their roster. 

Brown has been playing remarkably in international leagues and has shown flashes of her ability while playing for the Wings last season. Let us look at how her career has charted until now. 

A look at Jaelyn Brown’s College and Professional Career

Brown played for US Berkeley’s California Golden Bears, where she had a decent senior year, averaging 15.1 points and 5.5 rebounds. She then went undrafted in the 2020 draft and decided to play in the French second league for the Toulouse Métropole Basket. After playing four games for Toulouse, Brown was disheartened and was planning on retiring from basketball. She abstained from basketball for 8 months before reviving her career for the Swedish Team Norrköping Dolphins in 2022. She became one of the top players for the Dolphins, averaging 13.4 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, ultimately helping them win the national championship. 

Brown went on to play for the Hungarian A Division team Ludovika Csata the following year, appearing in six games for the team. Following her stint in Hungary, Brown decided to take her talents to the Turkish league and signed with Rize Belediyesi. She went on a tear in the league, being named Hoops Agent Player of the Week after scoring 32 points and 23 rebounds in a game. Brown then signed with the Mexican team Astros de Jalisco in April 2023, playing 9 games with the team. She later joined Maccabi Haifa in Israel in June. Then in 2023, Brown returned to Turkey, playing for clubs Hatayspor and Antalya Toroslar Basketbol. 

Brown signed a training camp contract with the Dallas Wings during last year’s preseason and went on to play for the team. She played a total of fourteen games for the Wings. She was traded to the Indiana Fever in 2025 before being waived by the team. 

Brown will likely return to international leagues this year to prepare for a comeback to the WNBA next season. Let us see how Brown fares in her basketball journey.
