The Grizzlies have reached an agreement with free agent shooting guard Charlie Brown Jr., agent Eric Brest of Seros Partners tells Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Brown, 28, was sent to Charlotte last October as part of the three-team trade that brought Karl-Anthony Towns to New York. Brown was waived before the start of the season and played for Raptors 905 in the G League. He averaged 12.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21 regular season contests and tied a league record with nine steals in a game.
Brown has appeared in 49 NBA games with five teams since going undrafted out of St. Joseph’s in 2019. However, his only NBA action since 2022 came during an eight-game stint with the Knicks on a two-way contract in 2023/24.
Brown has four years of NBA experience, so he’s not eligible to compete for a two-way deal with Memphis. Assuming he gets an Exhibit 10 contract, he’ll be able to earn a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he’s waived and spends at least 60 days with the G League’s Memphis Hustle.
The Grizzlies are currently at the offseason maximum of 21 players, so another roster move will be required before Brown’s contract can be finalized.
They call him downtown Charlie Brown for a reason. He loves to build giant buildings downtown.
Oh, brother
