According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Indiana Pacers are waiving center Moses Brown on Monday. The 25-year-old appeared in nine games for the Pacers this year and averaged 3.2 points and 1.4 rebounds across 5.2 minutes per game. This was Brown's seventh team in six seasons, and he ended up coming in for relief minutes after Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) both went down for the season. Brown will try to latch on to a new team moving forward.
The New York Knicks have signed center Moses Brown to an Exhibit 10 deal on Wednesday. The 24-year-old has bounced around quite a bit since his rookie season with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2019. In fact, Brown has played with six different organizations since joining the league. Most recently, Brown played 22 games with the Blazers, averaging 3.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 9.1 minutes per game. The Knicks are fairly loaded in the front court with Karl-Anthony Towns, Mitchell Robinson, and Precious Achiuwa. It looks like Brown is going to compete for a bench spot, but is unlikely to have fantasy value.
Portland Trail Blazers center Moses Brown (wrist) will play on Friday night versus Memphis. The 24-year-old broke his wrist during a meeting with the Suns on New Year's Day and hasn't been active since then. Before Brown went down with the ailment, he had played sparingly, so his return isn't expected to make much of an impact for fantasy managers, even with Deandre Ayton (hand) absent.
Portland Trail Blazers center Moses Brown (wrist) is officially questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, which could potentially be his first game back since Jan. 1 after suffering a fractured wrist. In the last four games that he did appear in, he was a starter but didn't get any more than 15 minutes in any of them. If Brown does suit up, it's unclear how he'd fit into the rotation just yet. Duop Reath has stepped up as a serviceable backup big, and Deandre Ayton remains the starting center. Fantasy managers may want to hold off on picking Brown up until his minute situation is figured out moving forward.
The Portland Trail Blazers announced on Monday that further advanced imaging on center Moses Brown's (wrist) injured left wrist demonstrated a non-displaced fracture of his scaphoid. Surgery is planned for this week, and a timeline for a return will be determined once the procedure is completed. It's rough timing for the Blazers, who continue to be without starting big man Deandre Ayton (knee). Portland is going to need Jerami Grant to handle more playing time at the five for the time being, while Duop Reath is representing the most popular waiver-wire add in Yahoo fantasy leagues on Monday. In eight games without Ayton this season, Reath is supplying 12.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.8 three-pointers per game and dropped a 15-point, 13-board double-double in 41 minutes during Sunday's road win over the Brooklyn Nets.
Portland Trail Blazers center Moses Brown (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man will sit this game out due to a left wrist sprain. This is noteworthy because Brown has been starting at center recently. His absence means that Ibou Badji will get the starting nod. However, Doup Reath and Jabari Walker have been playing minutes at the center spot as well. It's a messy situation that should probably be avoided in fantasy formats right now.
Moses Brown Could Be Unavailable For Wednesday's Game
Portland Trail Blazers center Moses Brown (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas. The seven-foot-two giant, who has made four consecutive starts for the team, is nursing a left wrist sprain. Brown has been used as the starting center in Deandre Ayton's (knee) absence, while Portland's other backup big, Duop Reath (back), has also been absent from the team. The 27-year-old hasn't seen much playing time as a starter, though, averaging just 11.8 minutes. He's been good on the glass by grabbing 7.0 rebounds, but offensively, Brown has contributed only 1.5 points.
Cleveland Cavaliers center Moses Brown will be part of the team's starting five for Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He is filling in for injured rookie center Evan Mobley (ankle), who has been ruled out for the team's next three games. It's a bit surprising to see Brown in the starting five instead of Kevin Love, who played 32 minutes, primarily at center, in the team's last game. Brown, meanwhile, has averaged just 5.4 minutes per game this month. We'll see if Brown is able to make the most of his time on the court, but he isn't an advisable fantasy option at least for now.
Dallas Mavericks center Moses Brown has been bumped into the starting five for Monday's contest against Cleveland. The move raises an eyebrow since Brown has not appeared since Nov. 10, and he has logged just 18 minutes across six games this season. Willie Cauley-Stein (illness) is unavailable Monday, and with the Cavaliers boasting two players at or near seven-foot in their starting five, Brown stands to see a minutes increase, although whether or not it will be enough for him to garner fantasy relevance remains unclear. The 22-year-old started 32 games last season for Oklahoma City and averaged 8.6 points and 8.9 rebounds across 21.4 minutes on a nightly basis.
Moses Brown Has Double-Double, Seven Blocks Against Clippers
Oklahoma City Thunder center Moses Brown scored a career-high 24 points and added 18 rebounds for a nice double-double in Sunday's win over the Clippers. The big guy also registered a new career high with a whopping seven blocks. Brown shot 12-for-19 in the game and delivered three assists. Josh Hall, who missed most of his rookie campaign through injury, also had a big finish to the year with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Brown should be a double-double machine in no time if he earns enough trust from the coaching staff. He logged only 21.4 minutes per game in 2020-21, but still managed to average 8.6 points and 8.9 rebounds.
