Mavs add Brown
Also, on Thursday, the Dallas Mavericks announced that they have signed center Moses Brown to a 10-day contract.
The 25-year-old has spent the 2024-25 season split between the G League’s Westchester Knicks and Indiana Pacers. In 17 regular-season games, all starts, for Westchester this year, Brown averaged 15.6 points, a league-high 15.2 rebounds, 0.9 blocks, and 30.5 minutes en route to being selected to the G League Next Up Game.
Brown signed with Indiana on Nov. 20 and saw action in nine games for the Pacers, averaging 3.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 5.1 minutes, before being waived by the Pacers on Dec. 9 and re-joining Westchester.
The sixth-year center returns for his second stint with Dallas after appearing in 26 games, including one start, for the Mavericks in 2021-22. He was acquired by the Mavericks from the Boston Celtics in exchange for guard Josh Richardson on July 31, 2021. He averaged 3.1 points and 2.3 rebounds in those 26 contests.
The 7-2 Brown has played for seven NBA teams: the Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers, L.A. Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, and Indiana Pacers.
Without injured centers, Daniel Gafford, Dereck Lively, and Anthony Davis, the Mavs needed size, and the addition of Brown should help in that area.
