The Lakers snapped up Anthony Brown out of Stanford in the second round of the 2015 draft and thought they might have a future “3&D” rotation guy. Brown has shown flashes this season, but is shooting 28 percent from three and has not found a steady spot in the rotation. He’s another one of those guys the Lakers need to develop, and he likely would have gotten a lot of run through the end of the season to do just that.
Now it looks like Brown will be out the rest of the season.
Anthony Brown will be out for a minimum of four weeks after an MRI revealed a stress reaction in his right foot.

With just five weeks left in the regular season, it’s hard to imagine him getting back on the court before Summer League. This leaves the Lakers thin on the wing, with Kobe Bryant out with a sore shoulder and Lou Williams also banged up.
The Lakers have Brown on a three-year contract that caps out at $1 million the third year, so they will bring him back and see if their next coach can develop him.
