Lorenzo Brown is confirmed to leave Panathinaikos BC after a disappointing 2024-25 season, where limited minutes under coach Ergin Ataman (6.3 points, 2.7 assists in 15 minutes) led to his sidelining. With a three-year deal signed last summer, his departure is imminent following new signings like TJ Shorts and Jerian Grant’s extension, alongside Kostas Sloukas and Kendrick Nunn.
Four EuroLeague Giants in the Race
Crvena Zvezda is ready to submit an offer (SDNA), Barcelona is targeting him (MundoDeportivo), and Olimpia Milano and Maccabi Tel Aviv are preparing bids (Sportando). Brown’s EuroLeague experience (162 NBA games, 2022 EuroBasket gold with Spain) makes him a hot commodity despite his recent struggles.
Where Will Brown Land? Analysis
Crvena Zvezda’s urgency and Brown’s past success there (2019-20) favor them, but Barcelona’s need for a playmaker and his Spanish ties could sway him. Milano and Maccabi offer competitive rosters, yet his familiarity with Maccabi (2023-24) might tip the scales. Financial terms and minutes will decide his destination.
