BasketNews sources confirm earlier reports that after two seasons in Belgrade, Brown is set to join Zalgiris Kaunas.
Brown was still under contract with Partizan until the end of the 2026-27 season, but the two sides reached a buyout agreement for the American sharpshooter.
Zalgiris lands one of EuroLeague’s best shooters
The American guard delivered solid numbers in the EuroLeague, averaging 13.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
In the ABA League, he posted 10.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and similar assist numbers, showing consistency across competitions.
One of Brown’s biggest strengths is his shooting efficiency. He was among the most accurate shooters in the EuroLeague during the 2024-25 season and entered the exclusive “50-40-90” club, highlighting his elite scoring efficiency from the field, three-point range, and free-throw line.
He has now completed his third season in European basketball after initially developing his game in the EuroLeague with ALBA Berlin.
Before moving to Europe, Brown spent six seasons in the NBA, where he played 292 games, gaining valuable experience at the highest level.
