Lorenzo Brown is set to leave Panathinaikos and join Olimpia Milano, with the Italian club naming him their top choice for 2025-26, as reported by Sportando. Negotiations have accelerated, though an exit agreement with Panathinaikos, where he’s under a three-year $5.4M deal, is pending.
2024-25 Context and Contract Details
Brown’s limited role this season (6.3 points, 2.7 assists in 15 minutes) under Ergin Ataman has fueled his departure. Milano aims to pair him with guards like Niccolò Mannion and Leandro Bolmaro, but his $5.4M contract, signed last summer, requires a buyout to finalize the move.
Tactical Fit and Transfer Challenges
Brown’s playmaking and EuroLeague experience (162 NBA games, 2022 EuroBasket gold) suit Milano’s backcourt needs. However, Panathinaikos’ reluctance and the buyout cost pose hurdles, with positive developments suggesting a resolution is near.
