Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade<\/a> have confirmed the departure of key guard Sterling Brown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n SG\n <\/p>\n

BasketNews<\/a> sources confirm earlier reports that after two seasons in Belgrade, Brown is set to join Zalgiris Kaunas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Zalgiris lands one of EuroLeague’s best shooters <\/p>\n

The American guard delivered solid numbers in the EuroLeague, averaging 13.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.<\/p>\n

In the ABA League, he posted 10.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and similar assist numbers, showing consistency across competitions.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

He has now completed his third season in European basketball after initially developing his game in the EuroLeague with ALBA Berlin.<\/p>\n

Before moving to Europe, Brown spent six seasons in the NBA, where he played 292 games, gaining valuable experience at the highest level.<\/p>\n
