    UNCASVILLE, Ct. (WANE) – After starting her pro basketball career at the Connecticut Sun, Leigha Brown is searching for a new team.

    On Sunday, the Sun announced they waived the DeKalb High School grad.

    Brown was drafted with the 15th overall pick in last year’s WNBA Draft, becoming the first northeast Indiana native drafted since 2006. Shortly before the season began, Brown was traded to Connecticut.

    The former Michigan Wolverine standout saw limited action in her rookie season, scoring a total of 21 points through 25 appearances.
