Clippers' Kobe Brown: Gets light run in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Brown played five minutes in Sunday's 108-102 loss to the Lakers, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound.
Back with the parent club after a brief stint with the G League's San Diego Clippers, Brown surprisingly entered the rotation with Derrick Jones (groin) sitting out and with Norman Powell (hamstring) exiting early. Both Jones and Powell appear in danger of missing the Clippers' next game Tuesday in Phoenix, but even if that's the case, Brown likely won't see his role grow substantially.

Clippers' Kobe Brown: Makes garbage-time return
Rotowire
Brown (back) played the final 12 minutes of Tuesday's 122-86 loss to the Spurs and finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound.
Brown made his first appearance since Nov. 25, after he had been sidelined for more than a month due to back injury management. The second-year forward likely won't be featured in head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation on a regular basis now that he's healthy again. The 12 minutes Brown played Tuesday represented his second-highest total of the season, and he didn't check into the game until the start of the fourth quarter, when the Clippers were trailing by 28 points.

Clippers' Kobe Brown: Dealing with herniated disc
Rotowire
Brown (back) has a herniated disc and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Brown has been sidelined since Nov. 25 due to back soreness, and a formal diagnosis of a herniated disc complicates his timeline.

Clippers' Kobe Brown: Third-year option exercised
Rotowire
The Clippers exercised the third-year option on Brown's rookie contract Monday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
By exercising Brown's team option, the Clippers will keep the 2023 first-round pick under team control through the 2025-26 season. Brown appeared in 44 regular-season games during his rookie year, but he mostly played during garbage time and averaged 2.0 points and 1.4 rebounds over nine minutes per contest. Brown has not appeared in any of the Clippers' first three games of the 2024-25 campaign, so he'll likely spend some time in the G League.

Clippers' Kobe Brown: Near double-double in preseason
Rotowire
Brown finished Saturday's 91-90 preseason loss to the Warriors with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals across 27 minutes.
Brown played a game-high 27 minutes off the bench Saturday, and he was one of four Clippers players to score in double digits. The 2023 first-round pick bounced back and forth between Los Angeles and the G League's Ontario Clippers during his rookie year, but Brown should see more playing time at the NBA level following Paul George's departure to Philadelphia during the offseason. Brown appeared in 44 regular-season games for the Clippers in his rookie season and averaged 2.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 9.0 minutes per game. In 18 outings in the G League, he averaged 19.2 points on 50.0 percent shooting, 6.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.1 steals over 32.1 minutes per game.
