The Sixers have added Charlie Brown Jr. on a 10-day contract via the hardship exception after another prominent player entered health and safety protocols, Kyle Neubeck of the Philly Voice tweets. Philadelphia confirmed the signing in a team press release.
Starting guard Tyrese Maxey will miss Monday’s game against Houston due to those restrictions, joining Matisse Thybulle and two others.
Brown was signed to a 10-day contract by the Mavericks but it wasn’t renewed. He made three brief appearances with Dallas.
Brown had been playing with the NBAGL’s Delaware Blue Coats before the wave of COVID positives around the league. He also appeared in a total of 19 games with the Hawks in 2019/20 and the Thunder in 2020/21.
A Philadelphia native, Brown played his college basketball at Saint Joseph’s, where he averaged 19.0 PPG in his final season with the Hawks.
Sixers no want sign Shamorie Ponds
We will be fine as long as he’s back by the 15th.
Have the Rockets today, Magic, Spurs, Rockets and Hornets then the Celtics on the 15th, Heat the 16th and Wizards on the 18th. Those are big games.
Wouldn’t have mind them getting Isiah Thomas considering his Dallas deal ends tomorrow I believe
You do realize that CHA is better than BOS & WAS, right?
Lucy Van Pelt will not be signed because her sharing the court with Charlie Brown would result in Brown not making a single field goal !!
Wow, pretty sure you’re the first person to make this joke
On a 10 day contract? He’ll be earning… peanuts :p
