Brown became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Mavericks expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
The Dallas frontcourt has been decimated by injuries lately, which had paved the way for Brown to handle a significant role after he signed with the team Feb. 10. He appeared in four of the Mavericks' last five games, and he started the last two while averaging 19.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.5 minutes in the most recent pair of contests. As Smith notes, the Mavericks don't have room under their first-apron hard cap to sign Brown to a second 10-day deal, nor can another player be signed to the 15-man roster until April 10. As such, Brown looks like he'll have to head elsewhere to find work, even though Dallas would presumably be interested in re-signing him if it had the ability to do so.

Mavericks' Moses Brown: Productive again in start
Rotowire
Brown posted 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT) and nine rebounds across 22 minutes during Saturday's 132-117 loss to the Bucks.
The journeyman center made his second straight start for the Mavericks and nearly produced his second straight double-double. Brown is seeing a big role in the frontcourt with Anthony Davis (thigh), Daniel Gafford (knee) and Dereck Lively (ankle) all on the shelf, and the latter two aren't expected back in the lineup until April. Davis should be re-evaluated soon, and Dwight Powell might see his workload grow as he gets back up to speed following a one-month absence due to a hip issue, but in the short term, Brown is holding down the fort in the paint.

Mavericks' Moses Brown: Shines in first unit Thursday
Rotowire
Brown supplied 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and three steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 103-96 victory over the Hornets.
Making his first start of the season Thursday, Brown posted his first double-double of the campaign while setting new season highs essentially across the board. The Mavericks are likely to remain without Anthony Davis (adductor), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (knee) for the foreseeable future, leaving Brown with an opportunity to remain Dallas' starting center for the time being. With that said, Brown is currently under a 10-day contract with the team, so the veteran big man is only worth a speculative add in deeper fantasy leagues while Dwight Powell has a minutes restriction.

Mavericks' Moses Brown: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Brown will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's game against Charlotte.
The big man will supplant Kessler Edwards in the starting five, drawing his first start of the 2024-25 campaign with P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined. Over 10 appearances with Dallas, Brown has averaged 3.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in 6.7 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Moses Brown: Plays 12 minutes in Mavs debut
Rotowire
Brown registered two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 12 minutes during Friday's 111-103 win over the Pelicans.
With Dallas dealing with injuries to Anthony Davis (adductor), Dereck Lively (ankle), Daniel Gafford (knee) and Dwight Powell (hip), the Mavericks signed Brown to a 10-day contract to add some depth at center. Despite coming off the bench, Brown ended up matching starting center Kessler Edwards in minutes, and the duo could have that kind of split in playing time moving forward while the Mavs use P.J. Washington at the five in small-ball lineups.

Mavericks' Moses Brown: Likely to get 10-day deal
Rotowire
The Mavericks are expected to sign Brown to a 10-day contract prior to Friday's game against the Pelicans, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Mavericks are short on healthy centers with Anthony Davis (adductor), Daniel Gafford (knee), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Dwight Powell (hip) all sidelined, so the team will look to bring in Brown to bolster their depth at the position. Brown has been impressive in the G League this season, and the 7-foot-2 center has 159 career NBA games under his belt. He could end up filling a rotational role in the short term, making him someone to monitor in deeper formats for fantasy managers seeking help in the field-goal percentage and rebounds categories.

Moses Brown: Waived by Indiana
Rotowire
The Pacers waived Brown on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
With James Wiseman (Achilles) and Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) done for the season, Brown was signed to a one-year deal in November, but the Pacers will move in a different direction. Brown made nine appearances, averaging 3.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 5.1 minutes.

Pacers' Moses Brown: Limited role continues Tuesday
Rotowire
Brown totaled no counting stats over three minutes during Tuesday's 122-111 loss to Toronto.
Brown logged fewer than five minutes for the fourth consecutive game, continuing an uninspiring return to the NBA. The Pacers signed Brown after losing their two backup centers to separate Achilles injuries. Brown has failed to score in each of the past three games and barring an injury to Myles Turner, Brown's role is likely to remain limited.

Pacers' Moses Brown: Best outing of year off bench
Rotowire
Brown contributed 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Sunday's 115-103 win over Washington.
Brown put together his best outing of the season, providing Indiana with an offensive lift off the bench Sunday while concluding as one of four Pacers with 15 or more points. Brown has appeared in just three contests so far this year, and Sunday marked his first double-digit point total and his second game with at least five points.

Pacers' Moses Brown: Plays seven minutes in debut
Rotowire
Brown had six points (3-4 FG) and four rebounds in seven minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Rockets.
Brown came off the bench in his season debut, playing seven minutes. With Indiana having lost both James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson to season-ending Achilles injuries, Brown should be able to pick up consistent minutes playing behind Myles Turner. Brown has the ability to be a strong per-minute producer and could step into a larger role should Turner miss any time over the course of the season.

Pacers' Moses Brown: Catches on with Indiana
Rotowire
The Pacers are signing Brown to an NBA contract Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Brown has been playing in the G League with the Westchester Knicks, where he has averaged 18.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals over 27.3 minutes per game across four outings. The Pacers lost backup big men James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson to torn Achilles injuries, and with no other centers currently on the 15-man roster outside of Myles Turner (calf), Brown has an opportunity to come in and contribute immediately in a reserve role. Brown appeared in 22 regular-season games (including five starts) for the Trail Blazers during the 2023-24 campaign and averaged 3.4 points and 3.9 rebounds over 9.1 minutes per contest. Brown won't be available for Monday's game against the Raptors, but the hope is that he'll be available to play Wednesday against the Rockets, per Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star.

Knicks' Moses Brown: Strikes deal with New York
Rotowire
Brown signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Knicks on Wednesday.
The 7-foot-2, 258-pound center spent the 2023-24 season with the Trail Blazers, appearing in 22 contests (five starts) while averaging 3.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per contest. After becoming a free agent in the offseason, Brown linked up with the Lakers for the Las Vegas Summer League, but he remained unsigned until striking a deal with the Knicks. The 24-year-old will get a chance to compete for a spot on the Knicks' 15-man roster for the remainder of the preseason but could be headed to the G League's Westchester Knicks if he gets cut before the Oct. 22 season opener versus the Celtics.

Lakers' Moses Brown: Back to full strength
Rotowire
Brown registered nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Thursday's 93-89 Summer League win over the Cavaliers.
Brown missed the first half of the Lakers' back-to-back due to an illness but returned to action a day later. The 24-year-old center appeared in 22 games (five starts) for Portland last year but doesn't have a regular-season deal for 2024-25.

Trail Blazers' Moses Brown: Makes return Friday
Rotowire
Brown (wrist) tallied seven points (3-3 FG, 1-3 FT) and one rebound in nine minutes Friday in the Trail Blazers' 122-92 win over the Grizzlies.
Brown had been sidelined since early January after requiring surgery to address a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist, but he was back in action Friday and ended up slotting into the rotation with Deandre Ayton (hand) sidelined. Brown ended up playing ahead of Ibou Badji as the primary backup to fill-in starting center Duop Reath, but if Ayton is back in action for Saturday's game in Memphis, Brown would likely drop back out of the Trail Blazers' rotation.

Trail Blazers' Moses Brown: Available Friday
Rotowire
Brown (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Brown will suit up for the first time since Jan. 1. He's averaging just 9.1 minutes per game across nine appearances (four starts) this season, so his role figures to be minor.

Trail Blazers' Moses Brown: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Brown (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Brown has been out since Jan. 1, recovering from left wrist surgery, but it appears he's on the cusp of getting back to the court. He'll likely have some minute restrictions once he is cleared, but if Deandre Ayton (hand) goes down for a prolonged stretch, Brown could potentially be looking at a ton of opportunity. He can remain on the waiver wire in most formats, but he's worth monitoring in deep leagues.

Trail Blazers' Moses Brown: Absence to continue Tuesday
Rotowire
Brown (wrist) will not play Tuesday against Miami.
Brown's next opportunity to take the court comes Friday versus Memphis, although it's unclear how close the big man is to a return. Duop Reath and Jabari Walker will likely continue stepping up as the relevant contributors off the bench in the frontcourt.
