Brown Jr.

The decision to waive Brown frees up a two-way contract slot for the Hawks. Undrafted out of Michigan, he appeared in just five games last season, doing his best work for the Hawks’ G League affiliate. Atlanta now has just one player on a two-way contract, guard Trent Forrest.

Brown Jr. just signed a two-way deal with Atlanta on Saturday, so it’s unlikely he would’ve played anyway. This won’t have a direct impact on fantasy hoops, unless other Hawks land in league protocols. It’s worth keeping an eye on, since the Hawks will be in the play-in this week.

He’s averaged 15.2 points in 30 G-League appearances this season, but this signing doesn’t move the fantasy needle for any of Atlanta’s regulars. Brown will serve as a depth option at forward.

The Michigan product was signed out of the G League earlier in the day on Monday and actually did a pretty nice job given the circumstances. He’s on a 10-day contract and will at least be worth keeping an eye on as long as John Collins is in health and safety protocols for Atlanta.

Brown Jr. signed his 10-day deal with the Hawks this morning, and now he finds himself in the starting lineup with so many Atlanta players in quarantine. Joining him in the first unit tonight will be Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Cam Reddish and Clint Capela.

The rookie out of Michigan played sparingly for the Lakers while on a two-way deal this season. While he’ll likely get more of a chance on the Hawks, who have 10 players in protocols and two more out, he’s not worth rushing to the wire for.

Brown was with the Lakers’ Summer League team, and was one of the final cuts out of training camp. The rookie out of Michigan will spend the majority of this season with the Lakers’ G League affiliate. In order to make room for Brown, the Lakers are waiving Sekou Doumbouya.
