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.

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.

Brown has already missed Portland's last four games and is expected to remain out until at least the end of February. With Deandre Ayton (knee) also sidelined, Duop Reath and Ibou Badji should continue to receive extended minutes until Ayton is able to return to action.

Trail Blazers' Moses Brown: Rebounds well, does little else
Rotowire
Brown accrued zero points (0-1 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one steal and one block across 14 minutes in Tuesday's 130-113 win over the Kings.
After being outside of the Portland rotation in each of the previous five games, Brown was surprisingly handed the starting nod over the team's normal No. 2 center, Duop Reath, while Deandre Ayton (knee) was sidelined. Reath still ended up seeing the bulk of the minutes at center and poured in a career-high 25 points to go with nine rebounds in 32 minutes, but Brown wasn't a total zero for those that streamed him for rebounds and blocks. Even so, Brown will likely find himself back outside of the rotation Thursday against the Spurs if Ayton is cleared to play.
