Sterling Brown
matters worse both Austin Reaves and Lonnie Walker IV have also been handed respective injuries which will make the purple and gold army shorthanded as we approach the halfway point in the season. This is just why the LA Lakers have signed veteran Sterling Brown.
Yes! This is the same player who played 49 games for the Dallas Mavericks previously. He has also been part of the Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks in the past. So, as the Lakers try to secure their first 4-game winning streak, the idea of acquiring Sterling Brown is to increase the depth in the squad with more versatile players.
Sterling Brown has never been able to pull off big numbers with any team he has featured within the NBA over the course of his five-year spell. Having featured in 264 regular season games and 24 playoff games, this 27-year-old has not dropped big numbers but can easily provide the required supporting hand.
Although, as mentioned above, Brown has never taken over the league, his most recent performance in the G League gave Rob Pelinka the idea to secure his services for a short span of time as the Lakers would be requiring help from their bench in the upcoming contests – wherein they face Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers.
That being said, Sterling Brown played in six G League games this season and has averages of 11.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per contest (on 41.1% shooting from the field and 34.6% from the three-point range).
