| Brown became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Mavericks expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. The Scoop:The Dallas frontcourt has been decimated by injuries lately, which had paved the way for Brown to handle a significant role after he signed with the team Feb. 10. He appeared in four of the Mavericks' last five games, and he started the last two while averaging 19.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.5 minutes in the most recent pair of contests. As Smith notes, the Mavericks don't have room under their first-apron hard cap to sign Brown to a second 10-day deal, nor can another player be signed to the 15-man roster until April 10. As such, Brown looks like he'll have to head elsewhere to find work, even though Dallas would presumably be interested in re-signing him if it had the ability to do so. Mar 2 8:07 ET - | ||||||||
| Shines in first unit Thursday Brown supplied 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and three steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 103-96 victory over the Hornets. The Scoop: Making his first start of the season Thursday, Brown posted his first double-double of the campaign while setting new season highs essentially across the board. The Mavericks are likely to remain without Anthony Davis (adductor), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (knee) for the foreseeable future, leaving Brown with an opportunity to remain Dallas' starting center for the time being. With that said, Brown is currently under a 10-day contract with the team, so the veteran big man is only worth a speculative add in deeper fantasy leagues while Dwight Powell has a minutes restriction.

| Starting Thursday Brown will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's game against Charlotte. The Scoop: The big man will supplant Kessler Edwards in the starting five, drawing his first start of the 2024-25 campaign with P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined. Over 10 appearances with Dallas, Brown has averaged 3.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in 6.7 minutes per contest. Feb 28 1:12 ET |
| Plays 12 minutes in Mavs debut Brown registered two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 12 minutes during Friday's 111-103 win over the Pelicans. The Scoop: With Dallas dealing with injuries to Anthony Davis (adductor), Dereck Lively (ankle), Daniel Gafford (knee) and Dwight Powell (hip), the Mavericks signed Brown to a 10-day contract to add some depth at center. Despite coming off the bench, Brown ended up matching starting center Kessler Edwards in minutes, and the duo could have that kind of split in playing time moving forward while the Mavs use P.J. Washington at the five in small-ball lineups. Feb 22 4:13 ET |
| Waived by Indiana The Pacers waived Brown on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. The Scoop: With James Wiseman (Achilles) and Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) done for the season, Brown was signed to a one-year deal in November, but the Pacers will move in a different direction. Brown made nine appearances, averaging 3.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 5.1 minutes. Dec 9 8:07 ET |
