Brown signed a two-year deal with ALBA Berlin on Tuesday, Eurohoops.com reports.
The 46th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, Brown appeared in at least 49 games in each of his first five professional seasons.

Brown dominated with the Raptors 905, averaging 15.7 points (49 percent shooting), 7.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Rotowire
Brown's 10-day contract with the Lakers expired Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
The 27-year-old is eligible to sign a second 10-day deal with the club, and given that the Lakers remain without three key rotation players in Anthony Davis (foot), Lonnie Walker (knee) and Austin Reaves (hamstring), Los Angeles could look to finalize a new contract with Brown prior to Monday's game against the Rockets. Over his four appearances with the Lakers on his 10-day pact, Brown averaged 6.0 minutes per contest.

Sterling Brown: Drops double digits
Rotowire
Brown compiled 10 points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a steal over 36 minutes Wednesday versus Mexico City.

Brown was hoping to showcase his abilities in the Showcase Cup, but Wednesday's effort likely didn't do him any favors in finding an NBA home. Still, Brown should continue to log heavy minutes while with 905.
