Lakers News: 2023 LA Role Player Agreeing To Deal With German Team
Shooting guard Sterling Brown, who inked a 10-day deal with your Los Angeles Lakers in January to give the club some potential 3-and-D wing help, has found his next pro basketball home. And it's not in the NBA.
Per Sportando, the 6'5" wing out of Southern Methodist University is nearing a deal with German club Alba Berlin. He spent his first three NBA seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, before logging time with the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and finally the Lakers last year.
In 268 career NBA regular season games (29 starts), Brown boasts averages of 5.3 points on .419/.363/.796 shooting splits, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.5 steals a night.
He didn't exactly light the world on fire during his most recent NBA stint. In limited run (6.0 minutes per) across four games with Los Angeles, Brown didn't score a single bucket, averaging 0.0 points on 0-of-1 field goal shooting, 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.5 steals a night.
In 24 games with the Toronto Raptors' NBAGL affiliate, the Raptors 905, Brown 15.7 points on .490/.450/.727 shooting splits, 7.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals per game.
While Brown, 28, may be done with his NBA journey at present, one imagines if he plays well internationally, he could get another 10-day contract towards the end of this season. Though probably not with the Lakers!
