Former NBA wing Sterling Brown has signed a two-year contract extension with KK Partizan, according to Eurohoops. The new deal was first revealed by team president Ostoja Mijailović and was later confirmed by the club via social media (Twitter link).
Brown, 30, was the 46th overall pick in the 2017 draft out of SMU and spent the next six years in the NBA, appearing in 268 regular season games for the Bucks, Rockets, Mavericks, and Lakers. The 6’5″ swingman averaged 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per night, with a .419/.363/.796 shooting line.
Brown has been out of the NBA since playing on a 10-day contract with the Lakers in January 2023, having spent the past two seasons in the EuroLeague, first with Alba Berlin in Germany and then with Partizan in Serbia.
Brown is coming off a very productive season for the Belgrade-based team. He averaged 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 25.8 minutes per game with a .523/.469/.929 shooting line across 34 EuroLeague outings, and put up 11.0 PPG, 2.2 RPG, and 2.2 APG on .527/.505/.886 shooting in 26 ABA (Adriatic League) contests (21.7 MPG).
Partizan finished the EuroLeague season with a 16-18 record and missed the playoffs, but remains alive in the domestic Serbian league (KLS) and the ABA.
