Ex-Rocket Bobby Brown To Play In Montenegro

NOVEMBER 2: Brown’s one-year deal with KK Mornar Bar is now official.

NOVEMBER 1: Former Rockets guard Bobby Brown is getting close to reaching an agreement with KK Mornar Bar, a EuroCup team based in Montenegro, tweets Lithuanian reporter Donatas Urbonas (hat tip to Sportando). Assuming a deal gets finalized, it’s expected to include out clauses for China and the EuroLeague, Urbonas notes.

Brown, a former Cal State Fullerton standout, appeared in 25 games for the Rockets in 2016/17 and 20 more in 2017/18. The 34-year-old played a limited role for the club, averaging 2.5 PPG and 0.6 APG in just 5.3 minutes per contest.

Although he also played in the NBA from 2008 to 2010, spending time with four teams during that stretch, Brown has spent the majority of his professional career playing in international leagues, so a return to Europe comes as no shock. He finished last season playing for Olympiacos in Greece after being cut by Houston in February.
